American designer Brenda Houston has long been captivated by the allure and sustainbility of gemstones, fossils and minerals, and in her contemporary collections she gives them pride of place. Traveling throughout the world, she locates exceptional specimens, showcasing them in her handcrafted custom furnishings. She recognizes that “nature’s artworks” have seduced since ancient times, and will continue to do so, sidestepping passing fads to be coveted for generations.Some of the minerals Brenda incorporates into her pieces are more than one hundred million years old. She marvels at the juxtaposition between the rocks’ rugged, nondescript exterior and the gleaming luster within. Once the interior section is visible, she lets the unique veining, color and silhouette of the cross-section suggest what the slab will ultimately become. Whether the final result is a table, lamp or wallcovering, each piece is unique and represents the individual beauty found in nature. 6
