Trade Representative

EQ3 was born in opposition to trends, vowing instead to focus on timeless designs. We make furniture not fast, but to last. Our greatest hope is to have our pieces passed down like heirlooms. We pride ourselves on being innovators in our industry, and we believe that the more voices and choices we incorporate into our perspective, the better we’re able to find creative solutions for modern life.

Everything we do is made in consideration of people, of the planet and of our space.
