patio art

Working near Singaraja, in the mountainous northern region of Bali, artisans collect naturally fallen branches and glean wood from the local coffee plantations to fashion these delicate, colorful wind chimes. Once the reclaimed wood — teak and coffee — is gathered, each piece is sorted by size and color before being hand-shaped and strung with pieces of cut glass. Dazzling in the sunlight, the resulting rainbow chime is a gorgeous example of nature-inspired design. Each piece will vary slightly, due to the natural variations of the wood.

Nik from Bali creates fabulous home decor from a variety of materials; one example is this steel wall sculpture. The magnificent fish is cut from steel sheet and painted by hand with a rainbow of colors. It is ready to make a statement on any wall in your home.

Capturing the nostalgia of a Pacific sunset, Alejandro de Esesarte translates his concept to this lovely outdoor wall art sculpture. He works in steel to create the images, hammering them into low relief and painting them by hand. "This image represents a sunset in Sayulita, a Nayarit beach town in Mexico," the artisan explains.

Because each piece is individually hand-crafted and painted, size and color could vary slightly.
