We've found the project owner's preferred furniture for this fit-out. Many of the pieces are made of mixed materials that have metal and other non-wood parts for legs, arm rests, etc. The surfaces of these chairs, desks, and tables are made of wood, but the manufacturer will not substitute the regular wood he uses with FSC, but the manf. will sell only the parts we want. We have found a separate manf that works exclusively with wood and has an FSC CoC number for producing wood furniture. Our idea is to have the wood manf. purchase the non-wood parts and assemble the furniture pieces with his FSC Mixed wood parts. As far as I am aware, the wood manf. under FSC rules does not have the right to sell these assembled pieces as FSC furniture because they are mixed metal and wood pieces; but this shouldn't mean he can not sell us the wood parts of the furniture, which would all be FSC Mixed along with the metal pieces separately. Has anyone tried something like this or does anyone know whether this would be a GBCI acceptable approach to contributing to earning the credit? The amount of time required to do this doesn't make the approach very sustainable, but at least the product would be!
