Ugo Furniture was created by Patrick and Janis Dodson of Eugene Oregon, home of the Ducks. Ugo Furniture is helping to revolutionize furniture and helping those with nomadic lifestyles move with less hassle. The concept of the Ugo Furniture line is to make moving accessible for everyone by way of it's innovative yet ergonomic fastening system and lightweight frame. It is incredibly easy to set up and can completely assemble with just one person. In fact, our quickest assembly was 31 seconds set July 25, 2008. Ugo Furniture was also created to fit into a compact sized vehicle making a moving truck unnecessary.

The owners whose children often needed help moving after each year of college were the inspiration behind Ugo Furniture. Each had children that attended college and wound up getting stuck having to help them move. Similar problems arose with each moving escapade such as sofa's getting stuck in doorways, having to rent U-Haul's and having to beg family and friends to help. The goal of Ugo Furniture was to allow the user to be more independent and free to move about as many times as wanted without having their things dictate where and what they were going to do.

Ugo Furniture's introductory line is called the Oregon Collection which has a sofa, loveseat and armchair version. Ugo Furniture's hope is that students, the career minded, families or even just those needing extra seating for the holidays will rethink the way in which they move or have company over by adopting a more graceful and sustainable furniture solution.

Ugo Furniture is manufactured entirely in the state of Oregon. The pine used to assemble the frames comes from an Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) certified mill out of Gilchrist Oregon and upholstery for the cushions is taken care of directly out of the warehouse. Ugo Furniture is a responsible purchase by virtue of it's long lasting qualities and easy-move or store aspects. Ugo Furniture owner's are also more likely to resist the urge to get rid of their furniture as many people do sometimes such as college students at the end of the school year i.e. old sofa's on the corner. As an alternative, Ugo hope that they will instead choose to store their furniture or be able to move it to a new location instead of adding to the landfill.

You can find Ugo Furniture at their warehouse on Wilson Street in Eugene, online or at one of their retailers. [ugofurniture.com]
