Cedar and leather bar stool, 'Pyramids' Overview
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Abel Rios recreates the splendor of ancient pyramids in richly tooled leather. The motifs crown a handsome and comfortable bar stool. Rios works in cedar wood to create the finely crafted stool. Artisan Info: Abel Rios is featured in Keepers of the Arts, a beautiful hardcover book available through Novica. "I have dedicated myself to crafting fine leather products since the age of 16. Initially, I began by helping my older brother Hector in his leather workshop after he asked me to come to work for him. With my older brother's generous and providential offer, I learned the wondrous art of leatherwork - a trade that continues to fascinate me and consume most of my days. "When I was 23 years old I decided to become an independent artisan. I opened my own workshop in my house. Fortunately, my work has gained considerable popularity, and I greatly enjoy the responses that I continue to receive when people see my creations. "These days, my work consists of cutting, embossing and engraving fine leather with a distinct style and skill that you won't find in many workshops. I design many beautiful Inca and colonial motifs, and emboss those upon the leather. I sell some of my work locally to art shops, but am especially happy and proud that my products are being sold all over the world
