"But I couldn't live in Yosemite, unless I became a forest ranger," he said, "so I did the next best thing." Eighteen years ago, he planted numerous trees on the land where he built his design studio. Today, he looks out upon a forest of oak, fruit trees and mature Monterey pines.
Gibilterra has tried to apply that appreciation for nature to his furniture by emphasizing rugged natural materials -- solid and sturdy red oak and multi-colored stone. To manufacture the product, he contacted Wambold Furniture, a company committed to healthy working conditions for its employees and a pollution-free environment.
