Beautiful craftsmanship and delicate details. I use it to keep my evening reading book. It has nice feeling of coziness - the book is gracefully waiting for me to open it.

"This Artist Knows Elegant Design!"
This is my second piece of Rios Furniture. I had bought a storage cube previously and was extremely pleased with the construction and aesthetics of the piece! Who knew a storage cube could be timelessly beautiful! We are restoring an 1882 home and our preference is for antiques. We purchased this piece for our Great Room. This is a place in our home dedicated to entertaining without media. We wanted a smaller table that could be moved easily! This table is perfect...it complements our antiques and is just an interesting piece! I love this table and it will be with us many , many years. The Rios Furniture is a treasure!
Best Uses
- Coffee table/ easily moveable

"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."
"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."
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.
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.
Abel now has several full-time assistants.
