# The non-toxic living room

> A sofa, chair, rug, throws, a candle, and an air scrubber, all without chemical flame retardants, PFAS treatments, or mystery foam. Every piece discloses its materials.

The living room is where chemical flame retardants have historically been most concentrated: in sofa foam, rug backings, and upholstery treatments. This collection sidesteps all of it. The sofa is built on a solid pine frame with natural latex cushions, no chemical barrier required. The rug is hand-knotted wool on a natural backing. The throws are single-fiber natural materials.

Start with the sofa and rug. They define the arrangement and are the hardest to swap later. Layer in the lounge chair once the main pieces are in place. The Faribault wool throw and the Salt Earth organic cotton blanket add warmth without synthetic treatments. Both are designed for year-round use, not seasonal storage.

The Slow North candle is 100% soy with named essential oils, no synthetic fragrance, so it can burn while the windows are closed. The Jaspr air scrubber earns its place during the first weeks after delivery, when new furniture off-gases the most, and stays useful well after.
