Palmwood & Sustainability
Explore the coconut palm material behind Pacific Green furniture, its historical sourcing assessment and the details to consider when choosing a piece.
Pacific Green Answer
What is Palmwood furniture?
Palmwood furniture is made from mature coconut palms that have reached the end of their fruiting life. Pacific Green turns this renewable plantation resource into durable furniture material, reducing dependence on traditional forest hardwoods and supporting a more transparent sustainability story.
Palmwood® from coconut palms
Palmwood is Pacific Green’s furniture material made from mature plantation coconut palms.
The material uses palm trunks after their productive fruiting life, offering an alternative source for furniture and architectural pieces. The visible grain gives each piece its own material character.
Rainforest Relief’s 2010 report describes the historical sourcing and processing of coconut palm wood in Fiji. The report is available below for readers who want to examine that assessment.

MATERIALS AND MAKING
Palmwood, leather and hand-finished details give the Pacific Green collection its character. Material combinations and finishes vary by model. Ask for the specifications and care information for the piece you are considering.
Natural grain, colour and leather markings can vary between pieces. Review the selected materials and finishes with the team, along with the intended setting and any project requirements, before confirming an order.
Historical Rainforest Relief assessment
Rainforest Relief published its final evaluation of Pacific Green on 1 July 2010, under report number RFSW-2010-001. It records an assessment of the company’s wood sourcing and the award of Rainforest Wood Safe certification at that time.
The report states that maintaining certification involves annual updates and site visits as needed. This historical report does not establish the current certification status of every product or finish.
