Our Russian Olive Stump Table in Standard Magazine
Raw with burls and an eco-friendly non-toxic topcoat finish, each Russian Olive Stump Table is completely unique from the other and full of character. Russian Olive trees, non-native species introduced to New Mexico in the early 20th Century as an ornamental, are being removed in an effort to help restore the eco-system of the bosque (woodlands) along the banks of the Rio Grande River.
The Russian Olive has been crowding out native trees along with other non-native species like Salt Cedars and Siberian Elms, so upon their removal we have been snatching them up to make really cool, organic side tables.

Locally harvested, eco-friendly and full of personality, the Rio Grande Side Table in sculpted Cottonwood is created from standing trees cleared from burn areas. Part of a rehabilitation effort, the trees were rescued and turned into ever-so-clever shaped side tables finished with a non-toxic topcoat finish.

Our Bolivian Saddle Blankets are featured on Apartment Therapy today. Apparently they are also known as 'Frasadas'. Who knew?
They are sturdy, beautiful and woven by hand with sheep wool from local herds. Each rug has minor variations in size and shades and are available at 50 x 75 inches.
What's more, they are produced under fair trade conditions. The rugs are sourced for Pfeifer Studio by former Peace Corps volunteers, Kathryn Krubsack and Kristen Evans. In 2004 they arrived in at a small village in rural Bolivia and soon fell in love with the 50 families, 20 cows, several monkeys, and dozens and dozens of children, who accepted them into their lives as their own.
By supporting the art of Bolivia you are also strengthening and preserving some of the most fascinating indigenous cultures of the Americas, and you are directly benefiting the producers by buying from artisan cooperatives.
Additionally, a percentage of profits is donated to youth music education projects in Bolivia. We think that you will be enchanted with the unusual beauty of these hand woven saddle blankets. Each piece carries cultural and historical traditions found nowhere else and brings with it the story of its unusual journey to reach you.
We offer them in four colorways: Natural, Red, Purple, Brown

Su Casa Magazine
Fresh ideas, creative inspiration, and new endeavors continue to keep Pfeifer Studio in the public eye, and we recently caught the attention of local publisher Su Casa Magazine who featured our shop in their current Life Style section. Addressing Pfeifer’s blend of traditional world handicrafts with a contemporary aesthetic, they also mentioned our latest press-worthy endeavor, a collection of tables made from fire-damaged wood removed from the nearby Rio Grande bosque, with a portion of proceeds donated to Tree New Mexico.
Pfeifer Studio in Su Casa MagazineLocated in the heart of adobe land, yet originating in New York City, it’s no surprise that Pfeifer Studio is influenced by traditional adobe with a modern twist. One trend true to Pfeifer Studio is
New Mexico Modern, which encompasses a collection of Pfeifer Finds and original furniture designs inspired by the rich texture of adobe contrasting against the rough surface of sun dried woods. With the influence of Spain ever present, one can’t help but notice how artist from the east brings a modern perspective to a land steeped in history.
When we typically think of adobe, often the first thing that comes to mind is a building made of clay walls. But, traditional adobe architecture encompasses so much more. Texture plays a big part of an adobe abode, especially when considering the wood supports that hold up the roof structure. Vigas, also known as exposed ceiling beams made from logs, cannot be overlooked because of their strength, but also the characteristics of their aged wood.
Wood vigas ready to be laid in adobe wallsYou may have noticed Pfeifer Studio offers a significant collection of tables carved out of harvested wood, and it’s because we have such a great appreciation for its natural beauty and the drying and cracking process that happens over time. Putting somewhat of a modern spin on much of what we do, you’ll notice our
Eco-Friendly Stool Tables (featured in Apartment Therapy’s ReNest) made from the simplicity of a locally-harvested Pine log, are painted with a brilliant splash of milk paint to make them appropriate for any contemporary setting. Our
Pine Cube Tables, a more “cubist” approach to a typical round log are made in the USA from timber harvested in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Featuring a textured surface created by hand using an adz tool to shape a pattern on the wood, these tables make for interesting conversation and a functional piece of furniture.
Our Eco-Friendly Stool Table Created from Vigas
With additional tables consistently in the making, we invite you to keep checking the Pfeifer Studio collection as it continues to grow…not just on our site, but also in the news!
