On average, we make a mere 35,000 decisions each day, from deciding how many times to hit snooze, to each element of a meal, to making purchases as a consumer or business. Navigating these decisions can be simple or complex – which would you prefer?
Make a simple and sustainable choice by partnering with Natural Pod to create beautiful learning environments that are practical, healthy, sustainable, and equitable. We create better learning environments all over the world by designing and creating high-quality, sustainable and non-toxic wooden furniture for play and education spaces with an emphasis on beauty, durability and functionality.

Natural Pod is quality for the long term; simple, sustainable, durable
Our products tell a story and support environmental education with a real-world example. Educators and students can learn where the products come from, what they are made of, and how the choices they make can impact their learning environment and the world.
Choices today lead to a better tomorrow
Quality materials convey to children and educators that they are valued. The story of how products are sourced, built, and shipped is a wonderful introduction to environmental education. In the classroom, educators and children can learn where the products come from, what they are made of, and how the choices they make can impact their learning environment and the natural world. We invest in sustainable practices — from the design and manufacture of the products to their shipping and installation. These are foundational to our commitment to support child, community and planet.
Materials matter
Our products are ethically manufactured in BC, Canada. Natural Pod products contain less than 1% PVC (excluding electrical components) and come with a 10-year warranty. Our furniture has no harmful off-gassing. Our wood products are made with FSC® Chain of Custody Group certified materials. These meet LEED credit standards. FSC is the leading not-for-profit forest management certification organization; they help set the world’s most respected environmental and social standards for responsible forest resource management.
Choose simple and sustainable solutions
We have a deep commitment to creating supportive, healthy educational environments and a parallel commitment to being a socially and environmentally responsible business. In everything we do, we honor these commitments, creating healthy, beautiful learning spaces that welcome and inspire. We are here to support you as you navigate creating better learning environments for your students and educators, through exploring the purpose of your space, and designing a solution as unique as you are.
“It’s really important that as we make long-term investments in the community that we want the things we purchase to be long-lasting. Furnishings and finishes in our classrooms must reflect our values and desires to spend wisely and must work with the instructional program and our sustainability goals.” – Jay Greenlinger, Ed.D., Director of Curriculum & Instruction at Oak Park Unified School District.
