fURNITURE AND VINTAGE OBJECTS
Made to Order Patio Tables and Vessel Stands
We have been lucky to work in some truly amazing modern gardens. This inspired us to create durable outdoor furniture with a strong mid-century modern vibe. First came the tripod vessel stands - scaled to fit the classic fiberglass “bullet” planter. They also accommodate other planters and trays. The versatility of the stands led us to start experimenting with concrete tops to create super durable patio tables. We guarantee that these tables won't blow around your yard.
Contact us for availability.
Vintage Garden Pieces
Vintage pieces add interest and authenticity to your modern garden. We provide vintage mid-century modern garden furniture (refurbished as needed), planters, fountains, sculpture, and objects for our projects.
What we have on hand varies.
