Glass logs redux

In 2006 I worked with designer and fellow CCA alum Chad DeWitt of DeWitt Studio on a set of decorative glass logs for display in a Sunset Magazine Idea House. The pieces proved so popular while on display we decided to produce some for sale as a limited-edition. Here we are a couple years later and there have been so many requests for the logs that we’ve decided to open a second edition, the first pieces of which have just been poured.

Each log is cast individually by pressing a piece of real cordwood into the sand. Using special binders we are able to get some pretty great texture of the rough wood faces, and each log has a clear flat surface where the pour was completed that is signed and numbered as part of the edition.

The logs are available directly from the studio, and through some of our most tasteful stores, such as Highcotton Living in Berkeley and Good in Boston. Check out the store locator on our website or email us directly to get yours.

Who knew so many people got this magazine??? I have gotten more comments from friends and family than probably any other media exposure. I didn’t even know these would be featured, or that they had been loaned to the stylist.

Thanks to one of our retailers, some of the new “tall bottles” were placed in a spread on page 123 of the August 2008 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. I would never have thought that they might end up as a table centerpiece, but they seemed to work well for the shoot at least…
