Featured Piece: Hashira Side Table The Hashira is a side table designed for the "mud room," or main entry for the home. This is where you would place your shoes when you'll remove them to enter the house. It's also a great place to store keys, sunglasses and other knickknacks you want to keep track of when you enter or leave the house. Style is modern/Asian, and the table can be made to order in many other woods. (Pictured: cherry) Bar Stools Great solid chairs for a breakfast nook.

(Pictured: pear wood) Artist: Anthony Brozna Anthony Brozna started his studio in Brooklyn, NY, where he established himself as one of the few fine furniture makers using reclaimed and salvaged wood. Each piece is constructed at a high level of craft, built for durability, function and repeated enjoyment. His work employs a combination of traditional and Japanese joinery techniques, machining skills and handwork. Brozna takes care to incorporate the inherent qualities of each piece of wood into his furniture, allowing aspects such as color, grain and stability to guide the design process. Brozna Woodworking is committed to building a product that is sustainable and environmentally responsible. The lumber used in Anthony Brozna's furniture comes from trees felled by sickness or storm, or salvaged from old buildings. These trees and old beams are custom-sawn to enhance grain patterns and stability. In 2003, Anthony moved his studio to Richmond, Virginia, where he lives with his wife Corinna, son Andres and daughter Lola. Brozna Woodworking is located at Plant Zero, a renovated factory in downtown Richmond. Anthony Brozna's work has been featured in a number of regional, national and international publications to name a few, Dwell, Travel Channel, HDTV, and Fine Living Network. © 2005
