POLLOCK TABLES |
Dan Pollock |
Dan Pollock's tables are unique, one-of-a-kind hand carved sculptures made from recycled wooden stumps found in the forests of California. When creating a sculpture, it is very important for the artist to always find sources for wood that will not require a living tree to be cut down. For our current stocklist of one-of-a-kind Pollock bowls or tables please contact the SUITE NY showroom at [email protected].

CUT STRIPE |
Ritva Puotila |
The Cut Stripe rug is woven from Woodnote's signature eco-friendly, hypoallergenic paper yarn and designed for modern residential use as well as light contract use. The design is pleasantly geoemtric, a combination of stripes divided by intersecting horizonal lines, creating rhythm and structure. The Cut Stripe carpet can be curated to be playfully multicolored or selected in a classic two-toned motif.
