Aguila Antiquated Art Furniture
The items you see here are big pieces of handcrafted contemporary art furniture and accessories using recycled, salvaged and antiquated materials of wood and stone. Environmentally driven, the materials come from salvaged, recycled wood, timbers from demolished old houses, century old railroad sleepers, drift woods, and excavated timbers of prime wood are examples of limited natural resources that are used. Other unique resources such as antique limestone rice and corn grinders, which are acquired from remote villages are also key components of the products.
In 2003, a material of utmost rarity was discovered. Excavated meters below the ground near a river bank, timbers of semi-petrified ipil wood became the most ideal material for the production of environmentally conscious works of functional art. The objective is to produce limited handcrafted masterpieces of fine art furniture and objects that are executed by passionate labor utilizing the most sensitive materials in recycling fashion, and eventually inspire a discriminating connoisseur who values high aesthetics, original concepts, and environmental matters.
A young and very talented Filipino sculpture from Negros Occidental, Philippines, Mr. Karl Aguila, is the master artist and designer of these wonderful works of art.
