But that took a lot of work...
And like, a lot of time and money too...
That’s why we started Fernish.
As typical urban professionals, our founders - Michael and Lucas - loved the idea of moving: new home, new city, new job, new roommates, new furniture. But they didn’t love the reality: The expense and hassle of moving existing furniture that might not match their new place, creating waste by kicking cheap furniture to the curb, or spending free weekends shopping for new furniture.
After working together at another Los Angeles based startup, Michael and Lucas realized they had more than moving in common. They shared an entrepreneurial spirit and a belief that they could flip the home furnishings industry on its head in a sustainable fashion that fits the way we live today.

We also want to help the planet.
Fast furniture is out.
By using Fernish you’re also saying goodbye to “fast” furniture—cheaply made, self-assembled furniture that you’re forced to throw away after a single use. Let’s work together to cut down on the 9.8 million tons of furniture that ends up in a landfill each year.
Made-to-last is in.
We only source items from trusted, credible manufacturers. These items are high quality and guaranteed to stand the test of time.
