Q Collection provides furnishings that are better for you, your home and our planet. Their products combine comfort, design and top quality construction with materials that reduce or eliminate risks to human health and the environment.  The company was created in late 2002 by Anthony Cochran and Jesse Johnson. The concept grew out of a conversation on combining high-end, stylish design with the purest and most environmentally-friendly materials available.

Q Collection strives to be at the forefront of sustainable design and their primary goal is the elimination of toxic chemicals, carcinogens and the leading components of poor indoor air quality. Johnson and Cochran were pioneers in the luxury-design market when they started producing gorgeous pieces made with wood from sustainable forests, organic cotton, nontoxic dyes, and biodegradable natural fibers.
