Since La Lune Collection’s inception in 1979, before eco-friendly became fashionable, we have been concerned about the environment and particularly about the destruction of the rainforest by the lumber and furniture industries. Many of our customers are surprised to learn that La Lune Collection may be one of the most eco-friendly furniture companies in the world. It’s true!

And here are the top 10 reasons why:

1. La Lune harvests only fast growing and invasive wood species such as poplar and willow to produce all its products.  La Lune harvesting is beneficial to the restoration of biodiversity to forests which have been previously clear cut by the lumber industry.

2. All woods are harvested near the factory in Wisconsin, thereby reducing the negative impact and inefficiency of transportation and eliminating any impact on the rainforests of the world where much lumber is harvested by the furniture industry.

3. All harvesting is done by hand using low-tech and eco-friendly methods and no heavy logging equipment is used.

4. La Lune’s unique yet low-tech and low-processing manufacturing methods are eco-friendly and efficient.  Most processes are done entirely by hand using environmentally sound and efficient manufacturing methods.

5. The turn of the century La Lune factory buildings and machinery have been carefully re-cycled and re-stored incorporating highly efficient use of energy.  The La Lune factory and most of its machines and equipment date back to the early 1900’s.  Wood and other waste products are used to fire the kiln and heat the factory building.  Even wood shaving waste is used by local farmers for animal bedding.

6. La Lune carries no inventory of furniture and manufactures “just in time” as items are sold.  This efficient “just in time” manufacturing process reduces the expense and the inefficiencies associated with the production and storage of finished inventory.  La Lune markets and sells its products only in the US and Canada to reduce the shipping distance to its clients.

7. La Lune finishes are non-polluting, non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based finishes which are locally manufactured for La Lune.  Finishes are applied in dip tanks to eliminate the air born pollution, energy costs, and waste products which are generated with typical spray booth applications.

8. La Lune furniture is designed and constructed to last for generations and thereby will reduce negative environmental impact and landfill waste associated with cheaply made, disposable, non-degradable furniture.  However, La Lune furniture is 100% bio-degradable if it should someday be discarded.

9. La Lune’s human sustainability is an important part of its environmental sustainability; in 1986, La Lune relocated its operations to an abandoned factory building in a central city neighborhood now called Riverwest.  La Lune has helped to restore the neighborhood by rehabbing the building, providing jobs, and opening a youth center for at-risk children near the factory in 1989.  See https://www.lalunecollection.com/la-lune/press-and-awards.html.

10. La Lune’s furniture, factory, and company history provide a perfect educational tool to teach others about eco-friendly manufacturing.  School and civic groups of all ages regularly tour the La Lune factory in order to learn the La Lune philosophy and process from its founder Mario Costantini.  La Lune is actively supportive of local environmental initiatives.

La Lune warrants to the original purchaser that each piece of La Lune furniture will be free from defects in materials and workmanship given normal indoor residential or commercial use for a period of one year.  This warranty does not cover outdoor use due to variables such as weather, maintenance, pests, and other elements that are not under our control.

One of the best ways to keep La Lune fabrics looking good and to delay deep or vigorous cleanings is to properly maintain the fabrics.  This can be accomplished by simply brushing off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabrics, wiping up spills as soon as they occur, or spot cleaning soon after stains occur.

GENERAL OR LIGHT CLEANING:

Brush off any loose dirt.  Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 ounces (1/4 cup) mild detergent, such as Woolite or Dawn dishwashing liquid, per gallon of lukewarm water.  Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush to clean.  Allow cleaning solution to soak into fabric.  Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.  Allow fabric to air dry.

SPOT CLEANING:

Apply a light mist of mild detergent and water using a spray bottle.  Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or very soft bristle brush.  Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.  Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge. Wet-vacuum or blot excess water.  Air dry, repeat steps 3 and 4 until all detergent residue is removed.

HAND WASHING:

Remove cushion covers and soak fabric in a solution of 1/4 cup mild detergent per gallon of lukewarm water.  Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush as necessary.  Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.  Air dry.

MACHINE WASHING:

Remove cushion covers and machine wash in cold water.  Depending on wash load size, use normal amounts of mild laundry detergent and add 8 ounces (1 cup) of bleach.  Allow fabric to air dry.

HEAVY CLEANING FOR STUBBORN STAINS AND MILDEW:

La Lune Collection fabrics do not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow outdoors on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric.  To clean mildew, or other stubborn stains prepare a solution of 8 ounces (1 cup) of bleach and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of mild detergent per gallon of clean water.  Spray on entire area and allow to soak into the fabric for 15 minutes.  Remove stain with a sponge, clean towel or very soft bristle brush.  Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

Allow fabric to air dry.  If stain and/or mildew are severe, bleach quantities may be increased.

La Lune fabrics air-dry very quickly. Machine drying is not necessary.  If fabric has some wrinkling, use an iron, if necessary, but only on the synthetic setting.  As some irons exceed the recommended temperature on the synthetic setting, test a small inconspicuous area before ironing entire piece.  DO NOT use a steamer or iron set to steam setting.
