New Products Coming Soon
Debuting with Monmade — April 2023
Now with Green Leap, Temper and Grit introduces a standardized contemporary wall cabinet sustainably made from Bamboo plywood and manufactured by regional partner Eisenwood. Nick designed this cabinet for modularity, flexibility, and efficiency. He considered its materials yields and manufacturing efficiencies to reduce waste.

“Sustainability is integral to my business practice. To decrease material waste, I designed the product considering the maximum output for the board size. The product is also modular and can be adapted to various spaces. And now I’m engaging with regional manufacturing partners to help keep dollars in the local economy and Temper and Grit’s environmental footprint small.”
– Nick Volpe

To ensure the product’s sustainability, the cabinet is made from Plyboo—an architectural-grade bamboo plywood with FSC certification and LEED credits available; bamboo is a rapidly renewable material. Additionally, the cabinet is finished with Rubio Monocoat, a plant-based, environmentally friendly, nonpolluting, single-coat, durable finish; Rubio Monocoat contains 0% VOC. Temper and Grit’s finalized cabinet will debut in April at our our premiere Green Leap design industry event.
