Comeback product?
Wallpaper. It’s like a large-scale art installation, and it’s definitely not your grandmother’s wallpaper anymore!

Something great and green?
Our custom walnut slab tables have these amazing “live edge” details, made from one giant slab of reclaimed or salvaged wood paired with contemporary steel bases. They’re pretty incredible.

Something local you love?
“Rustic Jakarta” wood flooring by Viridian, made out of exotic woods from reclaimed shipping dunnage. It’s stunning and smells good.

Current design inspirations?
Metallic vinyls and leathers. They make great wall coverings and fantastic upholsteries. Everyone needs just a little bit of bling.
