Each hide is hand selected for its unique markings. We use 70% recycled steel for the frame. For an additional charge the frames can be plated in bronze, polished nickel, or brushed nickel. Designed by a former art dealer who represented contemporary artists for over 30 years, including some of the giants of minimalist art. The inspiration the designer took from working with minimalist artists over decades is realized in the principles of simplicity, honesty, utility at the heart of MIlwood Design. Hand made locally in Venice, California.
