His exclusive and exquisite collections variety from the original and iconic Hedgerow line to the contemporary Ergo and Morphic collections to the unexpected whimsical creations discovered in the Animal and Netsuke line.
Two metals are most usually utilised in the casting of these products. Bronze is normally utilised for classic, nature inspired and organic themes and stainless steel is used for far more contemporary styles.
