Living Sustainably, Outdoors Together: A Young Family’s EcoBirdy Story

Some stories feel like they were always meant to find their way home. This is one of them.

This young family lives a life shaped by creativity, curiosity, and a deep love for the natural world. Both parents are photographers, constantly observing light, texture, and fleeting moments. Chris, the father, is a true multi‑hyphenate - singer, filmmaker, craftsman, and devoted camper! He is always creating with his hands and telling stories through sound, film, and form. Julie, the mother, describes herself simply and beautifully: “Mom life, raw milk, light chaser, bread lover. Just a landlocked mountain girl constantly makin’ my way to the ocean.”

Together, they build a life that values authenticity, slowness, and connection.

“The moment I set eyes on an ecoBirdy set, the image of the table and chairs stayed tucked away in my dreams. It’s a pinch‑me moment to be able to live with this sustainable furniture.”

For this young family, ecoBirdy wasn’t just furniture - it was a vision of the life they wanted to build: intentional, playful, and deeply connected to nature.

 

A Dream Rooted in Sustainability

Made from recycled plastic, every ecoBirdy piece carries its own story. No two are exactly alike, and that uniqueness is part of the magic.

“They’re made of recycled plastic, making each and every piece unique! The best part is that they’re so easy to clean and suitable for indoor & outdoor use.”

Durable, easy to clean, and designed for both indoor and outdoor living, EcoBirdy furniture supports a lifestyle that’s relaxed, sustainable, and full of joy.

 

Life Happens Outside

For Finn, there’s one word that says it all: Outside.

“Finn’s most used word. We knew when he came along that he’d enjoy the outdoors, but that’s honestly an understatement!”

Whether it’s wildflower fields near their airstream, quiet moments by the river, or discovering farm animals along the way, being outside is where this family feels most at home.

“We’re outside as often as possible, and of course, every time he asks. It’s something we love about him and it pushes us to explore more, and it brings us together.”

Their ecoBirdy furniture naturally followed them outdoors. Onto the porch, into the sunshine, and into everyday moments that matter most.

 

Furniture That Grows With the Family

Watching a child discover the world is a kind of magic.

“My favorite thing is watching Finn’s face light up with excitement when he experiences new things or just things he loves so far in life.”


From throwing rocks into rivers and racing through open spaces, to fast piggy‑back rides and quiet moments at his own table, Finn’s world is full of movement and curiosity.

With the Charlie Chair and Luisa Table made just for him, and the Richard Armchair and Judy Table designed for grown‑ups, ecoBirdy brings generations together - comfortably, consciously, and beautifully.

 

A Shared Philosophy

At EcoBirdy, we believe that sustainable design should support real families and real moments. This family’s story reminds us why we do what we do: to create furniture that nurtures connection, with each other and with the planet.

Because the best memories are often made outside, together.
