SC41 Leadership Team
Michael Baetge, Owner
With a background in research and biochemistry and a work history that included a stint at NASA, Michael Baetge decided he wanted to try something different. He liked the idea of selling a tangible product that happened to be made in a clean and healthy manner, without a lot of chemicals.
“I wanted to contribute to making our world healthier without compromising style,” explains Michael. “I want to offer quality and beautifully styled furniture and bedding at the lowest prices possible, while maintaining our commitment to the environment by using natural, eco-friendly and recycled materials. This kind of true value will last for generations to come.”
“With the advent of the internet, the way people buy furniture has changed drastically. People are online doing research and they come into the store much more informed,” says Michael. But what he and his staff have found is that a lot of the information out there about sustainability and green furniture is not always accurate. “Luckily, I have a terrific sales team who are incredibly knowledgeable about sustainable furniture. Their first role is often as educators. They sift through all of the information available and are able to help people make informed choices that truly are eco-friendly.”
