“GreenRow showcases Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s passion for innovation and our ability to create products that inspire our customers and our industry,” said Laura Alber, President and CEO of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “By utilizing our in-house design capabilities, sourcing teams, vendor relationships, purchasing power and our world-class supply chain, we were able to develop a new brand that addresses white space within the aesthetic of our portfolio and embraces our unwavering commitment to sustainability.”
Led by Jaimee Seabury, Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, the GreenRow team worked in close collaboration with craftspeople in the U.S. and globally to design and develop products for the new brand. “GreenRow is focused on creating modern heirlooms by combining bright colors and thoughtful details into sustainable materials,” Seabury explained. “In addition to designing into a timeless aesthetic, we also committed to utilizing sustainable manufacturing practices and teaching our customers how to care for our products in order to ensure their longevity.”
Every product in the GreenRow assortment will support at least one of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s social or environmental initiatives and prioritize utilizing innovative, sustainable manufacturing practices with low-impact materials wherever possible—including responsibly sourced linen, cotton, wood, and recycled materials. The handmade, artisanal craftsmanship of select products in the assortment along with the uniqueness of the materials used, also makes several pieces in the debut collection one-of-a-kind or limited edition.
GreenRow has also aligned with the best practices of all Williams-Sonoma, Inc. brands by partnering with third-party organizations to certify products against industry-leading standards such as Textile Exchange’s Global Recycling Standard, Fair Trade USA and Nest’s Ethical Handcraft Program, to promote more sustainable production and worker well-being throughout the supply chain. Customers who purchase a solid wood furniture product from GreenRow will also participate in Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s tree planting program which plants a tree for every piece of wood furniture sold*.
