"Beautiful and functional"
I bought the Andean Birds folding table recently after drooling over it for a couple of years and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived much quicker than I expected to Australia. It is absolutely beautiful, more so than the photo shows. Though it was my intention to have a table I could pack up and bring out when needed I now use it all the time and love it.

"A comforting and strong presence in my room"
This trunk has helped me organize my life by getting my odds and ends off the floor. The tooled leather seat, the interesting hardware and the lustrous wood make it a winner.

Preserving Traditions
"At the age of 16, I joined my brother's workshop to learn to work with leather. At 21, I set up my own workshop and began to create the wood and leather designs that I am known for. I love the history that I am able to bring to my work. Since colonial times, leather and wood have been combined to create many practical and decorative pieces of furniture and art. My style is distinct and detailed. I use motifs from Peruvian culture and my workshop is known for quality. I love this art and enjoy teaching my workers the skills that were generously taught to me. Many of my workers have gone on to open their own workshops. This gives me pleasure. This is how we keep the art alive."
Profound Impact
"I have found great success with Novica. I am now an established artisan and my work is sold around the world. I have the life I once imagined but, most importantly, I have made my family secure. My children are educated and they work with me - together we bring our love of Peruvian history and craft to a respected family project."
Moving On Up
Abel no longer shares the rented patio with his chickens - the site of his first workshop. Today, the Rios family has bought that house and built a four story workshop on the adjacent land. They employ other artisans to help meet the international demand for their handcrafted products.
Working with Disabilities
Abel is determined to give back - to share the good fortune that he has found. He employs two people who have thrived in the supportive environment his workshop provides. His assistant is intellectually challenged and one of his wood carvers is profoundly deaf.
Job Creator
Abel now has several full-time assistants.
