Unearth New Finds at DIGS!

Happy Birthday Gaea!

This is one of our favorite times of year, when we celebrate our designers and artisans coming together for social and environmental change. Working in sustainable, recycled or reclaimed materials reduces the environmental impact industry causes. Working with artisans using Fair-trade practices instead of factories preserves their craft traditions and gives them viable income which assists in alleviating poverty,giving them the ability to make better choices for themselves and their families.

Thanks for supporting Digs!

Aid to Artisans: Egyptian Occasional Furniture Collection

[gallery link="file"]

Designed by: Rhea Alexander, Founder of DIGS

The goal was to offer retailers and wholesalers interested in importing from Egypt a cross-section or sense of the capacity and range these talented artisans have.

My inspiration was  the nexus between old and new. During this historical time of the Arab Spring, how can we take the traditional iconic patterns and wood turnings then fuse them with a contemporary forms and materials to imply the transition or change occurring around us. The carvings inspired by the henna tattoos of traditional Muslim Women, the inlay from mosaic patterns and the ancient Egyptian architectural proportions balanced with contemporary finishes, needs and dimensions.

Available this Spring  through Aid to Artisans
