About Us

Re-Home, Don't Throw Out

Our current world needs sustainable businesses more than ever.  We need businesses that actually help reduce environmental impact as a byproduct of fulfilling customer needs. 

Authenticity means Sustainability:

Authentic pieces from quality brand names are engineered with designs and materials that hold up to more use. Their durability means less waste—that is what we exist to help promote.

Timeless Design is Sustainable Design

Simplistic designs transcend time. We focus on carrying timeless designs as we view them as both beautiful and particularly sustainable. A design that doesn't go out of style can stay in use much longer than one that becomes undesirable.  

Refurbished Means Remarkable Value

Refurbished furniture means significantly less cost, and a lower environmental impact of furniture purchased as the furniture is already in it's use cycle. 

Meet Elwyn, the owner.

Elwyn is a Vancouver Island born entrepreneur with a passion for both outdoor adventure and sustainable business.

After taking environmental studies courses at University of Victoria, Elwyn made a key realization: to create a thriving future, businesses must serve the planet by serving people.

To make supplemental income while taking university courses, he started buying, cleaning/ repairing and selling used sofas out of his parents garage. He soon realized giving old furniture new life benefited both his customers and the planet through great value and keeping materials in use. That realization sparked Recertified Furniture — a modern consignment model built around environmental responsibility, quality craftmanship and design.
