Urban Wood Goods is a woman-owned furniture maker working exclusively in reclaimed wood, founded in 2010 by Erin True. The company handcrafted its first furniture in 2010 and now runs a single operation outside Chicago: per its own about page, Erin True "leads daily operations and creative direction for Urban Wood Goods' talented family of 20 designers, craftsmen and customer advocates, all from a workshop in Gurnee, IL, just outside of Chicago."
The material is the premise. Stock is salvaged old-growth timber pulled from homes, theaters, barns and other structures being deconstructed across the Midwest — the bulk from pre-1920s-era Chicago buildings and Midwest barns. Product covers dining tables, desks, conference tables, chairs, benches, bar stools, shelving and office furniture, serving both residential buyers and commercial and office clients; a dedicated custom sub-site handles commercial and residential bespoke work, and free design consultations are offered.
The company describes its work as custom design and artisan craftsmanship of reclaimed wood furnishings, with custom shop sections published alongside the standing catalog.
Note for the record: the prospect row listed this shop as Chicago. The company's own about page puts the workshop in Gurnee, Illinois; Chicago is the metro reference, not the location. Street address, lead times, price band and showroom status are not published on the company's own site and are left empty.
