Soulful findings...

It started out simply.

I was searching for a unique sconce for our bathroom project.

I happened upon Indian Summer's great blog...where I met Tucker Robbins. Monk turned world traveler, turned designer with a cause. I was immediately drawn to his work (and have some similar pieces in our home)...
He works with indigenous craftsmen...

Together, their work is a beautiful blend of modern and ancient.

I forgot about the sconce...

and found all sorts of other beauties I could see in our abode.

That always happens to me.

"The mission was to be a bridge between disparate cultures -

be they African, Japanese, American or tribal. The result- what I believe is an extraordinary and
unique collection of modern furniture and accessories in which each piece is
simultaneously a work of art

and a reflection of worlds that have come before.

At Tucker Robbins, every piece is made of living solid woods from distant lands.
To honor the richness of the tree's color and grain, revealing as it does its
history, we use only natural oils on our furniture to take on a rich patina as
it burnishes naturally."
