FSC-Certified
Telescope is proud to announce its FSC-Certified Director Chair Collection. The Forest Stewardship Council's (FSC) sole purpose is to ensure that the products they certify are made in accordance with environmentally friendly forest management practices. This FSC certification is significant because it helps consumers understand the commitment of Telescope Casual Furniture to a healthy, sustainable environment.
About This Director's Chair
The FSC-Certified Dining Height Director's Chair stands 34 inches tall with a 17.5-inch seat height. It features all wood parts that are precision milled, pressed together and nailed for maximum rigidity. Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant, zinc-plated steel braces and extra-strong leg braces add to the stability and longevity of this chair. Self-leveling plastic glides on the legs help to prevent marring of floors, and screws make these glides easily replaceable.
Tapered, shaped legs are nailed securely into a beveled seat block with mortise and tenon style joinery. The soft yet durable canvas seating material slips into a specially designed groove- no tools are needed. All frames are select, kiln-dried solid hardwoods, which are shaped and hand-sanded. All back covers have a non-sag feature, and one size seat and back fits all directors chairs.
About Telescope Casual Furniture
While the Green Movement had gained momentum recently, for Telescope it's been the only way they operate. From carefully managing, their 10,000-acre timberland for continuous growth and sustained yield, to utilizing recycled materials in all stages of manufacturing and recycling nearly all of its waste, Telescope was green before green was the thing to be. Telescope has become a leader in causal furniture manufacturing by doing what they've always done: exercising best forest management practices and managing its lands with people who value environmental stewardship.
After 100 years in an industry where design differentiation is crucial for success, Telescope Casual Furniture has become known for its ability to stand out. The century-old manufacturer exceeds most retailers' expectations not only by consistently turning out unique products, but also by maintaining an unwavering stance with respect to quality. Recipient of the Casual Furniture Retailers Association Manufacturer Leadership Award, the Granville, N.Y.-based company will continue to push the envelope on already high standards for the next 100 years.
