Tables & Seating
Being a table is a thankless job. You get spilled on, piled on and colored on. No other surface takes as much of a beating as a table. At ECOpdx we believe that not only should a table work hard, it should look good while doing so. Like all of our furniture, our tables are made of 100% salvaged-recycled hardwoods. The integrity of this wood resists denting or scratching and the look is completely unique. Most table tops are made from gigantic slabs of wood that have been discovered underground where they have been preserved for hundreds of years. Most of these slabs are from old growth trees that exhibit tight grain and figuring. The grain is further highlighted by minerals such as iron and manganese that leached into the wood while it was buried. These natural effects make our tables terribly sound and fabulously beautiful. Coffee and end tables start at $290, and kitchen and dinning tables begin at $650.
Our tables are complimented by an array of unique seating, all built for durability and comfort. Our stools, benches and dining chairs are styled to match your Tropical Salvage furniture or any other more traditional pieces you may have. Seating begins at $135.
As all of our pieces are unique, many wood types on this site may not match current stock. Please ask ECOpdx for current inventory and more specific pricing.
Cabinets & Bookshelves
What do you collect? Everybody collects something and everybody needs a suitable way to display their treasures. Whether it’s a hand carved wine tower to organize your collection of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir or a mission-style shelving cabinet to hold the collection of jazz lp’s that you’ve been dragging around in a milk crate for the last twenty years. Here at ECOpdx, we want to help you show off and protect what’s important to you.
The inspiration for many of these cabinets and storage vessels came from the natural demise of other structures. Tropical Salvage’s deconstruction specialists dismantle buildings and structures and save thousands of board feet of usable hardwood each year . After being rescued from the scrap heap, this wood is transferred to the fair trade facility on Java where paint is stripped off and the wood is cleaned, planed and sanded. Craftsmen repair any flaws in the wood and artists carve elaborate figures using hammers and chisels. Next, the entertainment center or bookshelf is assembled using wood-on-wood joinery and hand dovetailing. Only salvaged and recycled woods are used in the completion of the piece and veneers and filler boards will never be found on any furniture that ECOpdx supplies to the public.
We are proud of the people that secure and save the wood to make this furniture. We believe it is a worthwhile mission and a story suitable to hold whatever your treasure may be. Our cabinets begin at $390 and do not exceed $1200.
Bedroom
No room offers more furniture options and variety than your bedroom. This is your place to express yourself to yourself. These items are less on display for others and more for your personal fulfillment. Release your eclectic side at ECOpdx we do not sell “sets,” of furniture. Rather we sell matching pieces that are identical in design, but the mix of woods are completely unique - never to be replicated. Tropical Salvage utilizes over 40 types of salvaged exotic hardwoods in making this lasting furniture. Some of these woods are much more prevalent than others and some are completely extinct and only found in trace amounts. Their uniqueness make’s them interesting and this technique of “sampling,” different woods insures that less common pieces are still utilized and not discarded. It also completes a truly eclectic piece of furniture that you will have and enjoy for years. Visit us at ECOpdx and experience how well each of these hardwood pieces compliment each other while maintaining their own identity. Rest assured, your set will be as unique as you are.
