Piece of New York Dining Table in Reclaimed Wood, Handcrafted by Rafael Calvo

Rafael Calvo is a local Miami furniture designer and artist who specializes in unique, artistic wood design. His pieces are meticulously designed and handcrafted locally using reclaimed materials to promote sustainability. Rafael designs the pieces to be the centerpiece of any space; by combining skilled craftsmanship and wood with different elements such as acrylic, gold, and silver leaf, he creates genuinely one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Sustainability and environmental preservation have always been core principles of his designs and manufacturing process. He recycles and reuses all leftover materials and uses these to inspire new designs and creations. He also has an extensive collection of reclaimed wood salvaged from 150-year-old New York City townhomes. If he needs to purchase materials, he ensures they are continually reclaimed and locally sourced whenever possible. By using reclaimed materials, he reduces waste and ensures no trees are harmed in making our products. He ensures a wholly healthy product for the client and the environment by using non-toxic paints, finishes, and glues. Throughout his 35-year career, Rafael has had the opportunity to work with distinguished architects and designers and do custom pieces for private clients throughout New York, Miami, and Buenos Aires. Now, he dedicates his time to his designs and sharing these with the world.
