Verdigris Series

The Verdigris Series
Functional art forged in copper and cedar.

Every piece is cut, assembled, sanded, finished, and inspected by human hands — not machines, not overseas factories, and no shortcuts — right here in our Virginia workshop.


The Verdigris Series represents the pinnacle of our craftsmanship blending architectural steel framing, premium cedar construction, and handcrafted copper trellis systems into a piece that evolves beautifully with time.

Designed as both planter and sculpture, each Verdigris piece develops a natural patina that tells a story unique to its environment, creating a living work of art for gardens, patios, and entryways.

This is not décor. This is functional art.
