Copeland Furniture: Vermont Craftsmanship Meets Modern Design
Renowned for its longstanding tradition of American craftsmanship, Vermont is no stranger to top-tier furniture manufacturers and skilled artisans. Each year, the state continues to produce some of the most exceptional quality, USA-made pieces with a keen eye on New England-quality crafting. Leading the way in Bradford, Vermont since 1976, Copeland Furniture is one workshop partner that’s also helped shape the movement to combine these more traditional techniques with modern design and innovation. Today, in fact, this family-owned and operated business is one of the world’s most respected names in heirloom quality furniture made with natural hardwoods using sustainable practices. We couldn’t be more proud to offer their extensive array of home furnishing collections to our trusted Urban Natural community.
American Made With Traditional Techniques and Leading Innovation
While Copeland has always been rooted in the rich history of American artisanal craftsmanship, they combine these traditions with technical innovation and creativity to produce furniture that’s not only built to last, but aesthetically designed for modern living. Their solid cherry, walnut, maple, and oak hardwoods are all locally sourced from North American forests, and they incorporate imported hardware, textiles, or glass if the design calls for it. Their work also remains loyal to the traditional woodworking techniques of local craftspersons, while combining it with computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine work to produce the highest quality joinery, construction, and finishes. From asymmetrical English Dovetail drawer boxes, self-locking dovetail joints for cross rails, and hardwood corner blocks for bed, table, and chair leg stabilization, each step of the Copeland process is thoughtful and precise for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Signature Design That Empowers Bestselling Collections
Self-described as transitional mid-century modern style furniture, Copeland takes pride in offering a balanced aesthetic of both contemporary and traditional styles. Classic proportions meet the simplicity of modern design in work that’s inspired by the Arts and Crafts, Shaker, Mission, and Scandinavian furniture movements. Since they craft pieces for every room in the home too, here are some of our Copeland best-sellers:
For the Dining Room
Copeland specializes in heirloom-worthy dining collections that perfectly balance solid wood craftsmanship with clean, modern lines. Designed for effortless entertaining, most dining tables feature smooth-gliding, self-storing butterfly extension leaves and coordinating dining chairs and storage pieces. Customer favorites include the Audrey and Lisse extension tables, both of which seamlessly offer additional seating space when needed while maintaining an airy, minimalist aesthetic.
For the Bedroom
One room in the home where the serenity and simple beauty of natural wood can be especially powerful is the bedroom. Copeland’s more minimalist design approach to their bedroom sets expands upon this nature-inspired tranquility with an added sense of peaceful ease. The Monterey bedroom collection features a bed, dresser, and pair of nightstands crafted from sustainably harvested natural cherry wood. The Linn bedroom collection, available in solid natural oak, upcycled American black walnut, or cherry wood, is an especially beautiful and eco-conscious investment designed to last for years to come.
For the Living Room
From coffee tables and end tables to media consoles and accent chairs, Copeland offers mid-century modern designs to make everyday living feel stylishly curated, but comfortably lived in. The Modernist-inspired Catalina collection is a living space standout; the geometric elegance of its Catalina coffee table, and stylishly versatile storage capabilities of its media cabinet feel both refined and approachable.
For the Home Office
Designing a home office space that can keep up with the demands of a busy work day, while still feeling welcoming, spacious, and beautiful can seem challenging. That’s where Copeland’s innovative blend of leading edge technology and expert craftsmanship really shines. They give cozy home office furniture a modern upgrade with their classic Invigo sit stand desk, and newer Odin sit stand desk. Both are graceful, functional, and timelessly appealing additions to your at-home workspace.
An Eye For Sustainability and Healthier Home Furnishings
In addition to high quality materials and expert craftsmanship, Copeland also prioritizes sustainable processes for their manufacturing. Not only is their facility powered by renewable energy generated by an on-site solar array, but their own manufacturing wood waste is used to heat the buildings too, which helps to reduce their need for imported oil. Copeland also sources lumber from responsibly managed, North American forests, most of which are located within a 500-mile radius on their facility, in order to limit the carbon footprint of its transportation. This commitment to crafting products that are kinder to the planet extends to the health of your home environment too, with GREENGUARD-certified finishes that have lower chemical emissions, but still provide smooth, durable, and long-lasting beauty.
If you appreciate the simple sophistication and functional comfort of modern design, but love the expert quality and allure of traditional woodworking, you won’t go wrong with Copeland Furniture. Investing in this kind of legacy craftsmanship that prioritizes eco-friendly practices is also a great way to ensure it continues to thrive and innovate for future generations as well.
