Home accents by Gustav Reyes - Contemporary Wooden Lamps

Wooden Lamp Arc Series by Gustav ReyesWooden Lamp Arc Series by Gustav ReyesWooden Lamp Arc Series by Gustav Reyes
Introducing home accents by Gustav Reyes. The work is infused with a deep appreciation for nature’s gift of wood. Each piece is created with the idea that the home is a sacred place and should be occupied by objects that enhance and enrich the space and its inhabitants. The GR Home Collection is imbedded with modern simplicity and incorporates contemporary techniques maintaining a good blend of both philosophies.

The GR home collection is made by hand in Chicago USA with FSC Certified wood. Environmentally conscious techniques are incorporated whenever possible. Through the material and creation of the work, Gustav Reyes considers the complexities of the cycle of life. He has a deep appreciation for nature’s beauty and rather than working against the grain, he works with it.


The GR HOME Collection will debut at the Handmade New York International Gift Fair, Aug 13 - 18.
