A rough quarry stone is "planted" off the New England coast.

Sea Stones bring the beauty of nature into homes, while still leaving our
shores and forests unchanged.

We gather stones from private rivers and beaches, with permission. When a
stone is collected, we want to make sure there will always be a replacement for
future gatherers. So for each one harvested, a new stone (purchased from a
quarry) is planted in the water. Over the years, the water tumbles the rough
‘seed’ into a smooth, rounded stone.

In the same spirit, hardwoods are supplied by responsible sawyers committed
to conservation and the future of our forests. We also plant 10 times the number
of trees we use each year for our backplates.

Bringing natural materials indoors as functional art keeps all of us in
harmony with Mother Earth.
