Collection: Lou Wallach
"I create one of a kind pieces made from sustainable wood that are inspired by both the material and the environment from which it came. Many designs reflect the natural shapes of plants, stones and water, while others draw on the classical shapes of ancient vessels. Ultimately each piece is meant to bring the nature of the Berkshires into the home. Whether for use, or simply display, they connect to trees and land. I look for the intersection of natural form and imagination that reveals itself as the piece evolves. The wood is my partner in design, it has within it a form that has to be respected and allowed to influence the finished piece. The material comes only from fallen or standing dead wood, never a live tree."
