Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Renata Hromadkova . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Renata, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
We build beautiful one-of a kind furniture and decor with upcycled wood for environmentally conscious customers who are environmentally conscious.
“Why import wood, which supports the destruction of rainforests and clearing old growth trees, when you can have quality, locally sourced urban wood? Every decision about materials matters. There is a human and environmental cost in the widespread destruction and transportation of trees from deforested communities.”
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Every completed piece is an elemental transformation that recovers the tree’s vital energy. We hand-pick urban trees that are upcycled, carved, and crafted into functional furniture, artistic decor, and jewelry that reveals one-of-a-kind earthy, rugged elegance. Tree Sky EcoArt combines sustainability, material reuse, and environmental education. We support the critical need for safe and attractive green spaces in cities by repurposing quality, functional wood from fallen or broken trees that were destined for a landfill.
Enjoy the second life, elemental transformation of Ash, Elm, Oak, Cottonwood, Apple, Maple, and Pine trees into functional and fabulous decor, jewelry, and furniture.
The Tree Sky EcoArt’s vision is to inspire every person to do their part in eliminating deforestation, which can save old growth forests, the rainforests, and the planet.
Visit us in person or online and shop our environmentally sustainable furniture, decor, and jewelry; hand-crafted and handmade in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, at the foothills of the famously inspiring Rocky Mountains.
Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.
Renata is a self-taught artist, with a background in interior design and industrial woodworking machinery. She grew up on a farmhouse and was intimately connected with nature at a young age. “We heated our home with wood and my family taught me that every piece of wood matters because it provided warmth,” she explained.
When Renata moved to the states, she noticed that people were throwing away useful pieces of wood. She describes having a physical reaction to wasting wood and feeling compelled to give second life to the trees. There is so much love for these wondrous natural resources behind each project.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
“I figured out what I could do to save the wood. So I started with small jewelry. Then I decided to go bigger to make sculptural furniture,” said Renata.
