Ø Driftwood succulent garden

Hardy, low maintenance and eco-friendly succulents thrive for many months when watered no more than every three to eight weeks. 15"L x 5"H. Price $89

Ø Root of the earth bowls
Artisans hand-carve the discarded root balls of Chinese fir trees into magnificent bowls whose sides undulate like petrified flower petals. Equally at home as centerpieces, fruit bowls or natural sculptures, each one is as unique as its tree of origin. The bowls are untreated, so cracks and variations will occur. As dryness may encourage further cracking, please keep your bowl out of direct sunlight or heat. Regular oiling with food-grade oil will help keep it moist and beautiful. Not recommended for cooked foods or liquids. Before use, wipe clean with a damp sponge.

Small $35
Medium $49

Ø Summer Fruit Parchment bowls
Inventive natural sculptor Margaret Dorfman brilliantly transforms edibles into luminescent vessels. Building her bowls slice by slice, Dorfman presses each one into durable parchment, which she hand shapes to resemble large, bright undulating flowers with vivid repeating patterns. We've added two summer flavors-cantaloupe and orange, just in time for outdoor entertaining. They perform their own visual magic by transforming the texture and color of these succulent fruits into astonishing decorative pieces. Invisibly coated to maintain their vibrant translucent colors, the bowls comfortably hold a votive candle in a cup. Not food safe. 7.5"D x 4.5"H
Cantaloupe $42
Orange $42
Set of 2 $79 (one of each)
Ø Bamboo wood dining chairs with and without arms
We know how difficult it is to find the perfect dining chair. By carefully selecting only the strongest bamboo and tight-grained hardwood frames, we've given ours the heft, substance and subtle accents of fine furniture and designed them to coordinate beautifully with most dining tables. Buffed to a satin finish, the chairs are so comfortable they need no cushions. We chose renewable bamboo for its tensile strength and partnered with a small eco-conscious furniture builder whose craftsmen meticulously hand-build each chair. 21"L x 19"W x 42"H
