pooMWood, a “made in Annecy” and eco-responsible furniture brand
The Savoyard company pooMWood offers its customers modular and customizable furniture, at a fair price, made with wood from responsibly managed forests.
Today, 5 out of 6 pieces of furniture sold in France are manufactured and assembled abroad. They travel for miles before reaching our living rooms, kitchens or bedrooms. If supplier of MadeInFrance furniture seems a more responsible solution, it often turns out to be too expensive.
It is for this reason that the founder of pooMWoodCharles Fauvet has decided to launch a brand that allows its customers to create their own unique piece of furniture at a fair and eco-responsible price.
“The idea of embarking on the manufacture of wooden furniture was born from difficulties encountered when purchasing… furniture! On the one hand, the offer is plethoric: on the Internet as in specialized stores, but concentrated on cheap products, not always qualitative and rarely made in France. On the other hand, the high prices and the time needed to define the project hindered us from calling on a local craftsman…” he explains.
Charles Fauvet is convinced that “the furniture market can also become more responsible, more local, more sustainable”.
Bespoke and customizable furniture
PooMWood allows the realization of custom furniture. The company offers its customers the possibility of configuring the dimensions of their future furniture to the nearest centimeter thanks to a 3D configuration tool. They can also customize taking into account the type of wood in which it must be made, but also its color, the shape of its legs and its handles. With all the options available on the site, 240,000 combinations are possible.

A collection designed by students from major design schools or emerging designers
All of the furniture offered by pooMWood comes from the imagination and drawings of students from major design schools or emerging designers. These pieces of furniture are also of good quality, solid, made by craftsmen and produce innovative mechanisms in order to assemble and disassemble them easily and quickly, which makes it possible to lengthen their lifespan.
An eco-responsible company
The manufacture of furniture is done in Haute-Savoie in the region of Annecy. The materials made from forests are distributed responsibly and are then purchased from a local supplier, thus it has a lesser ecological impact since the transport of the furniture is done over a maximum of a hundred kilometers. The choice of MadeInFrance also allows the creation of local jobs and participation in the economy of France.
The pooMWood company has decided to be transparent in order to establish bonds of trust with its customers. Prices are fixed throughout the year, partners, suppliers and production sites are displayed and furniture is classified without an intermediary, which allows the brand to offer its customers more affordable prices.
Another advantage: once the order has been placed, the furniture is delivered 6 to 8 weeks later. A very short lead time for a custom-made and customizable piece of furniture, while many other furniture manufacturers have seen their delivery times desperately lengthen since the start of the health crisis due to supply problems and/or shortages raw materials from abroad.
