Velvet Ear Clocks
A full website was developed for the product. The shop page features a fully interactive configurator to allow the user to build a custom clock of their own design. Choosing colors for the body, backer, face, trim, and feet update the 3d model in real time. The model can then be manipulated in 3d to see the finished design.

This multi-pendant chandelier combines locally sourced figured big leaf maple with handcrafted metal and glass elements. Each pendant is suspended by traditional, cloth-covered twisted electrical cords. The ten pendants follow a helix pattern to create a layered lighting display.
The chandelier is fitted with eleven Edison filament bulbs, providing a warm, amber-toned glow that highlights the natural grain of the maple and the crackled pattern in the hand-blown glass shades. It is suspended from a large hinge mount, enabling it to adapt to the sloping ceiling.
How was it made?
Crafted with the utmost care, each piece reflects hours of painstaking work and 30 years of experience balancing materials, proportions, and function. By combining traditional hand work with digital fabrication, we ensure every creation is as durable and functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.
