CounterEvolution

Specialties

CounterEvolution designs, builds and sells quality, contemporary furniture and other items for the home from reclaimed bowling lanes and other eco-​friendly materials. All our furniture is made by hand in Brooklyn, NY USA.

History

Established in 2008.

CounterEvolution was conceived while founder, Jim Malone, was building a log home in upstate NY and became interested in reclaimed materials for building. Malone’s furniture designs were first shown at the Brooklyn Flea in 2008 and can now be found in Starbucks, Shake Shack and scores of eco-​conscious homes and establishments throughout the country. CounterEv’s Manhattan showroom opened in the spring of 2014.

Meet the Business Owner

Jim M.

Business Owner

CounterEvolution began when Jim Malone, a life-​long musician and songwriter who was at the time producing cartoons for children’s television, needed to make a change. (His career in animation was launched when he became the original voice director of the English-​language version of Pokemon.) Having recently designed and built a log home in Catskill, New York, he came across a seven-​foot slab of reclaimed bowling lane and built a counter for his New York apartment.
