We've been busy. Drawing, tweaking, developing, sanding, staining, rusting, you name it. Products have been in development and it is now time for the big debut.
We often add new styles to the website, but lately we have been on a whirlwind to say the least. Check out the latest additions to our collection below.
The Elm Wood Bench Table and Serving Tray above are made here in New Mexico from solid wood. Chinese Elm Trees were first planted in Albuquerque in the early 20th Century. They eventually spread into the bosque (woodlands along the Rio Grande River) where they are pushing out native species, such as Cottonwoods, altering this delicate eco-system. Elms are now being removed in an effort to help restore the bosque and we are snatching them up to make these elegant, contemporary designs.

Our most recent custom project was created for a luxury hotel in Philadelphia. The popular Winston Bench is shown on our website with a hair-on cowhide seat and black leather sides, but when designers at the boutique hotel wanted the Winston for seating in the dressing rooms at their spa, we quickly knew that a change of materials was in order.
A hair-on cowhide seat was not the ideal material for the requested setting, so we created the benches with wood tops to better suite the client's needs. They were also fabricated at a custom size (40 x 20 x 18) to fit perfectly into their space and we matched an existing wood finish to make sure that this was one custom project that was perfect!
