MY ART
Each furniture piece is unique and will never be reproduced exactly the same and are subject to the artist’s interpretation, rendition, and execution. We try to display our works of art on our website and social media as accurately as possible but cannot control nor guarantee that the colours and finishes are exact due to the uniqueness of each computer, tablet, or mobile monitor.
MATERIALS
We do not grow our own trees for wood, so we cannot control the differences in grain and colour. We do not raise our own cattle for hides, and therefore cannot control the variances in colour and texture. We do not weave our own materials either. We purchase our raw materials from reputable suppliers who are dedicated to supporting artists. With that, expect there to be nuances at times with the materials, that do not in any way diminish the quality of the art, but instead adds to the uniqueness of each art piece. Wood and leather are excellent examples of this. We have great trust in our suppliers to bring to us the best quality available, but are not in any way responsible, nor can guarantee any products they supply.
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
All our furniture is finished appropriately for indoor use, however each have their limitations. Wood for example expands and contacts (possibly cracks) due to moisture or lack thereof. High ultraviolet exposure will fade wood, leather and art. Gladly expect your leather furniture to wear like a good leather jacket. In some cases we have used oil tanned leather that marks easily resulting in a handsome distressed finish over time. A favoured look by most.
ONLINE STORE & PAYMENT
We have chosen the reputable https://www.squarespace.com to manage our online store. When you add a credit card to purchase from our site, third party SQAURE SPACE, will receive your credit card information and process the order.

COMMSSIONS
Although we don’t need much motivation or inspiration around here, we love commissions because we get to work on someone else’s inspiration and vision. So, if you have a specific idea or size or colour or subject matter for a bench or home furnishing, simply email us to discuss. Who knows, if we brainstorm together, we may even arrive at a better plan! Because each art piece is unique and started from scratch, we can only give completion time estimates, but no guarantees. Trust us, we want to finish our work as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality and even though we have not had any issues thus far, we are subject to material availability. Although highly unlikely, we reserve the right to say no to any project for any reason. Do however keep in mind that if you share an idea with us, you are giving us the right to use that idea to make our own artists rendition of it or make yours specifically and publicize it on our site and social media. Once you share an idea with us, you haven no legal right to it and we can use it to reproduce it. Commission deposits will be charged at 50% of the price prior to commencement of project and the balance paid prior to delivery.
