Unsurpassed Quality, Exceptional Value

Industry veterans Hank Cravey and Dhaval Lodhavia founded Home Trends and Design (HTD) in 2005. Based in Austin Texas, HTD has rapidly become the industry’s leading specialist in designing and manufacturing solid Mango furniture, a renewable resource. All products in HTD’s collections are designed in house.

At Home Trends and Design we offer customers compelling designs, often inspired by nature, crafted from environmentally friendly materials. HTD is leading the way in eco-friendly furniture by using sustainable practices and materials. The Mango Tree is a fruit bearing crop that grows naturally throughout India and thrives in humid, warm climates. Once mature, the trees are harvested for timber and replaced with new saplings. Each year Mango plantations replant new trees continuing the cyclical process of renewing and harvesting.

Home Trends and Design is a member of the American Society of Furniture Designers as well as a founding member of the Sustainable Furniture Council. Cravey commented, “We are constantly refining our designs to make heirloom grade pieces as well as seeking new ways to make the company greener to ensure a better world for our children”.

Our goal for every design is that it achieves an artistic balance of portion, scale and finish that accentuates the beauty of natural materials. Much of the product design, finishes, sizes, packaging and delivery stems from listening to customers requests. Our key product categories are dining, occasional, bedroom and accent furniture.

HTD is a multi-national company that has integrated the best of both East and West culture and style, with signature collections sold by regional and national retailers across the country.

We're all about. . .

Furniture the Eco-Friendly Way

Each year Mango plantations replant new trees continuing the cyclical process of renewing and harvesting. When the mango tree becomes mature and no longer able to bear fruit, the trees are harvested for timber. New trees are then planted in place, carrying on the annual cycle of planting and harvesting, creating the basis for sustainability and ecological balance.

Showcasing the beauty of the wood grain

Using solid hardwood to make furniture is a complicated process and requires expert knowledge of the materials and techniques required. The end result can be truly inspiring – an heirloom grade piece that will last for decades if not centuries. As the pioneer in eco-friendly mango furniture, HTD has developed new processes and finishes specifically for mango wood to ensure that each HTD piece will serve beautifully for decades to come.
