| Artistically handcrafted objects made with the love of
attention to the process and outcome. The simple earth friendly materials of hammered
copper, twigs and stone in the furniture are elegantly transformed into
naturally beautiful tables. They are suitable for many decors, from the
contemporary to a rustic cabin in the woods, to an Asian inspired city loft.
The clean design and use of natural materials produce a timeless appeal. The
stone table tops are recycled/salvaged. Actual color of stone will vary
depending on availability. (These tables can only be shipped within the United States) |

| Message from the artists: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While material things are not an end in-and-of themselves, any object that truly adds to a person's life is a good thing. It is our belief that artistically handcrafted objects made with the love of attention to the process and outcome are good things and may add to our lives in many ways, both large and small. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Materials: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The ecologically harvested twigs used are called "Salt Cedar", which is an invasive, non-native plant that has taken over nearly all the riparian habitat (along streams, rivers and wetlands) in the Southwest. A mature Salt Cedar plant can drink 400 gallons of water a day! It grows very fast and chokes out most native plants and can drop the water table so much it will dry up smaller streams in just a few years! The color of the twigs is the natural color when dry. They are not treated. The salt cedar is harvested from the Bosque del Apache Wildlife refuge, where it has been taking over the ecosystem. The stone table tops are recycled/salvaged from remnant material that is unusable to large custom kitchen, bath & commercial fabrication shops. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Variations: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Extreme care is taken to provide consistency in quality and aesthetic proportions. However, due to the unique individuality and variation of all the natural elements used, slight differences should be expected. Indeed, this is what makes each item a one-of-a-kind creation and is the basis for the originality of design and material. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
