GearForms

GearForms uses reclaimed industrial and architectural materials to make unique, one of a kind sculptural furniture.  Made from woods such as mahogany, poplar, oak, and sugar pine.  Handcrafted by pattern markers across the United States and South American, these forms were used to make sane molds and then cast into steel. Other reclaimed materials include but not limited to are printing presses, nautical vessels, machinery and public works like dams and bridges.

ZOLA is a handcrafted line of sculptural jewelry and objects designed and created by Gabrielle Miles Silverlight.  Employing methods such as the lost wax process for bronze casting and hand-formed ceramics, ZOLA uses these materials to combine traditional technique with modern design. Drawing inspiration from coastal landscapes, ZOLA embraces an aesthetic of 'organic geometry' that reflects both the rough edges and sweeping curves, the interplay of positive and negative space and the fluidity inherent in those landscapes.  ZOLA aims to create tactile and elegant art pieces that are unexpected yet can fuse seamlessly into one's everyday wear or decor.
