Who We Are

Idlewild Imports was inspired by adventurer, designer, and environmentalist John Grimes. John’s love for horses and trees inspired him to create a one-of-a-kind equestrian brand that was all about quality and style. Creating exotic furniture, John Grimes sourced the world's finest old reclaimed teak wood. He collected beams from old ships and buildings, ties from centuries-old forgotten railroads, and driftwood from the sea, upcycling these materials to create luxurious, bold, and timeless pieces. Idlewild Imports’ custom-crafted, up-cycled wood designs have adorned fine homes across the country and around the world for decades. Working with renowned interior designers and a clientele that truly understands the quality and service of what Idlewild Imports embodies. Our experienced design team can assist in providing tailored solutions for your next project and bring your vision to life.
