The Labyrinth of the Sand People.

One of the things I love about living near the beach is that sometimes you still see some "funky" stuff despite the commercialization that is now Southern California. It's nice to know that North County still seems to have a bit of that "funk" especially in Leucadia.

On the occasional low tide afternoons through out the year and particularly as we enter the vernal equinox I'll see the sand people creating their "sand art". Not sandcastles mind you but very cool and intricate designs in the sand.



It turns out this particular "labyrinth" is designed to bring peace and tranquility to those enjoying it. It was also built in celebration of one of the sand people's birthdays. The results were funky crystals, the beat of drums, and dancing through the labyrinth.







Good to see people going to the beat of their own drum still, Keep it funky Leucadia!

Even more Custom love... - Vernare

Check out this rad little custom dining table that just arrived for our top retail partner in LA - Vernare. As with all Maku Furniture pieces this table and chairs is made from 100% reclaimed / repurposed wood. Meaning no live trees are cut down to make our furniture. The wood we use comes from buildings that are being renovated or torn down. Leaving more trees to clean the air and less junk in landfills. sounds like a win win!




We shot these photos in the garden right outside their showroom in the heart of west hollywood just off Melrose. It's such a cool little tranquil getaway that you would never know you are smack in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world...

Evo Lofts L.A. - More Custom pieces...?

As you may have read at the end of last summer, we did a number of custom table tops for the Evo Lofts in downtown L.A. The Evo Lofts are the premier Eco friendly lofts in So.Cal with not only amazing views and archictecture but they also have LEED Silver certification.



From time to time I like to analyze the metrics of our little furniture project to see who is checking us out and looking at the Maku Furniture website. I continue to see that a lot of you are interested in the Evo Lofts. If you are fortunate enough to live in one of these beautiful buildings and would like to compliment your space with some amazing and sustainable furniture than look no further than our DEZINE partner in LA. Dan and his crew can not only offer you a myriad of eco friendly accessories to beautify your space but they can also design anything custom than you may want for the inside or out!
