1. Wood turned coffee tables and side tables made from sustainably sourced South African timbers.  As seen pictured here in this stunning living room.  The owner had 3 white turned side tables made in two different diameters and heights and used that to center in the room as a coffee table.  Then she opted on two more wood turnings had them spray painted in a dark blue and they where placed on opposite ends of the couches as side tables.

We require a minimum purchase of 2 stools per order in any combination of our designs. Please note natural cracks and separations will appear and is part of the organic appeal. We also recommend not placing the turnings directly on rugs, due to possible remaining moisture content in the wood.

         7.  Hand stitched cowhide rugs are constructed using a variety of hair-on-hide sized tiles, that were first cut by hand, and then stitched together to form a single cowhide rug (see image with tile sizes).
The cowhides are hand selected, top-of-the-line hair-on hide skins, stitched together with virtually unbreakable waxed-cotton thread with a polyester core.  Sustainable materials were used for the backings of the cowhide rugs, made from a 100% recycled rubber, thus ensuring these rugs are sound-absorbing, non-slip and comfortable as well as, uniquely beautiful.
