A NEW TABLE DESIGN FROM MTH WOODWORKS

MTH WOODWORKS have expanded their Bloom collection with the creation of this new coffee table. Salvaged from Vancouver Island, this massive tree base has found a second life as functional art. The top is cast in solid resin made from Peanuts and soybeans and is fused with the wood trunk to create a seamless surface revealing the beauty of the natural wood. This table measures 44 inches (polar triangle), for custom sizes and colours please enquire at 604.632.0095.

RINA MENARDI FOR FALL JUST ARRIVED

Provide was very excited at the store today when three huge boxes from Italy arrived. We rushed to open them up to see the fabulous creations of ceramic artist Rina Menardi in various shapes and colours. We have some pieces that are new to Provide, but have also ordered classic ones that have proven to be very popular in the past. We are just in the process of photographing them individually to upload to our website – in the meantime have a look at the picture above to wet your appetite.
