Upcycle<br />
Central<br />
One of the latest buzz words in the business world<br />
is ‘greenwashing’; a form of marketing spin where<br />
companies mislead customers by exaggerating the<br />
green credentials of their products or services.<br />
No need for any such chicanery at CASA-ANCORA<br />
Furniture, a small family run business based<br />
on Inglenook Farm off the Rainford by-pass,<br />
whose core business is centred around upcycling<br />
furniture. Upcycling is the re-use and re-imagining<br />
of discarded objects or materials to continue the<br />
life of the object, which keeps it out of landfill and<br />
adds value.<br />
The story of CASA-ANCORA Furniture began<br />
in 2018 when former teacher Rachel Hayhow<br />
started upcycling furniture at her home in Rainford<br />
as a hobby. After a few projects for friends and<br />
family were enthusiastically acclaimed, upcycling<br />
commissions started piling up and Rachel took the<br />
decision to give her business more prominence<br />
by moving CASA-ANCORA Furniture to nearby<br />
Inglenook Farm.<br />
Walk into the CASA-ANCORA Furniture studio<br />
and you’re immediately faced with a tremendous<br />
extravagance of home décor, gifts and accessories.<br />
The home décor ranges include quirky, industrial<br />
and rustic pieces to delight any discerning buyer<br />
looking to put an individual stamp on their home.<br />
Fair Trade is a theme that runs strongly through<br />
the store. A selection of products made by Indian<br />
craftsmen using traditional techniques are on<br />
show, as is a range of unique products made from<br />
recycled glass, metal and sustainably sourced<br />
wood. Rugs sold at CASA-ANCORA Furniture carry<br />
the ‘Good Weave’ certified label, testament to a<br />
product made without using child labour.
