i2i Design is a small, Wood Dale-based furniture and home furnishings maker that began in 2002 with a focus on sustainable, handmade pieces. The company produces a range of custom wooden furniture and coordinates projects from small consumer items to higher-value commercial installations, emphasizing functional, well-crafted solutions for various spaces. Its approach centers on using locally sourced reclaimed hardwoods from the Chicago area urban forest, transforming trees that have fallen or been removed due to disease, storms, or construction into durable pieces that minimize landfill waste. All assemblies rely on non-toxic, water-based glues and solvent-free, zero-VOC finishes, with a workshop design aimed at reducing waste and leveraging scraps for heating. The business serves customers seeking environmentally conscious, custom-made furniture and emphasizes practical, long-lasting design rooted in local materials and responsible manufacturing.
