ORIGIN COAST STUDIO was founded with a passion for transforming raw sustainably-sourced wood into incredible functional art pieces that enhance spaces and remind us of the beauty and simplicity of nature.
As artists, we are dedicated to living a life of craftsmanship — where the utmost care and attention goes into building each piece, from harvesting downed wood in the field, to milling, to finishing pieces in the wood shop, our pieces are completely hand-crafted by us from start to finish. With many years of experience in design, production, working with natural materials, and crafting art in many forms, working with wood is an exciting and fullfiling medium, that makes art feel purposeful.
Our hope is that our pieces add warmth, beauty, and function to your life and that they will be passed down through generations with many stories to tell…
Our Story
“After our property burned in the Carmel Fire of 2020, we were left with hundreds of dead oak trees and a vision of transforming the destruction into something beautiful.
As artists, we see each challenge as an opportunity. ORIGIN COAST STUDIO was born out of seizing the moment to turn raw materials into functional works of art, and build a thriving business in the process. The rare blue oak we harvested and milled from our property sparked a passion for preserving the beauty of these wood relics by turning them into pieces that can bring warmth and beauty to everyday spaces.
We believe devotion to our craft, years of experience in design, engineering, and building, along with sheer perseverance makes the difference in the quality of our work.”
