Made with Vegetarian Glue

At Oakart, our values run deeper than design. We believe that furniture should reflect not only great craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal, but also ethical choices. That’s why we proudly use vegetarian glue in every piece of furniture we make—reinforcing our commitment to conscious manufacturing without compromising on strength, durability, or quality.

In conventional furniture manufacturing, animal-based glues—typically derived from collagen in the hides, bones, and hooves of animals—have long been used as bonding agents. While effective, these glues raise significant ethical concerns, especially for vegetarians, vegans, and conscious consumers. At Oakart, we recognized this as an opportunity to align our production with a more humane and sustainable ethos.

Our vegetarian glue is a 100% animal-free, plant-based adhesive developed using soy proteins, natural resins, and other bio-based compounds. These glues not only eliminate the need for animal products but also have a smaller carbon footprint due to lower energy consumption in production. They are safer for the environment, for our workers, and for your home.

The choice of vegetarian glue may seem like a subtle change, but it represents a profound shift in how we think about manufacturing. By using plant-derived adhesives, we support cruelty-free processes and reduce our dependence on factory farming industries. It’s a small decision with a big impact—one that supports more ethical ecosystems.

What’s more, our glue doesn’t compromise on performance. It’s highly durable, heat and moisture-resistant, and flexible enough to handle seasonal wood movement. Every joinery application—be it mortise and tenon, dowels, or miters—is bonded using vegetarian glue that stands the test of time. In fact, our glue has been rigorously tested under mechanical and thermal stress conditions to ensure it performs as well, if not better, than traditional options.

By integrating vegetarian glue into our process, we cater to the growing population of eco-conscious buyers who care not just about what furniture looks like, but how it’s made. Whether you're a vegetarian, a vegan, someone who supports animal welfare, or simply a mindful consumer, Oakart empowers you to make a purchase that aligns with your values.

We take transparency seriously. From the sourcing of wood to the stitching of fabric, our goal is to create pieces that are honest in construction and composition. That’s why we label our glue as vegetarian—not just to inform, but to educate our customers that a better alternative is possible and available.

Parents, too, are increasingly concerned with what materials enter their homes. The idea that a child’s bed frame or a family dining table could be bonded with industrial animal remains is an uncomfortable reality for many. With Oakart, you’re choosing a cleaner, safer, and more ethical bonding solution that reflects your desire for a more compassionate household.

Even the longevity of our vegetarian glue tells a compelling story. Unlike many chemical adhesives, our glue is non-brittle and maintains its elasticity over time, minimizing the risk of cracking joints or loosening structural integrity. That means your furniture retains its strength over years of daily use—whether it's bearing the load of heavy drawers or supporting lively conversations around a dinner table.

In addition to its technical excellence, vegetarian glue contributes to better indoor air quality. It does not off-gas harmful chemicals or leave behind toxic residues, making it a healthier choice for allergy-sensitive individuals, children, and pets. This aligns with our larger vision of offering furniture that is both well-crafted and wellness-enhancing.

We believe true luxury is thoughtful. By choosing Oakart, you’re not just investing in timeless furniture—you’re investing in a philosophy that puts people, animals, and the planet first. Every piece of Oakart furniture carries within it the mark of modern ethics meeting traditional artisanship.

For us, the use of vegetarian glue is more than a production tweak—it is a declaration of intent. It is our way of saying that beauty, strength, and compassion are not mutually exclusive. It’s our promise to deliver furniture that makes your space feel better and does better for the world.
