The Sacred Tree is a collection of furniture and lighting launched on May 18th 2024. Inspired by exploration of local historical sites, like Fonthill Castle in Doylestown, PA and Green-Wood Cemetery, in South Slope, Brooklyn.

The name for the collection comes from the many large trees growing with their roots entwined with the graves at Green-Wood. The bodies of the dead have been absorbed and are part of another living organism. This visual made an impression as the studio moved from 169 54th Street to 267 23rd Street, in a way also shedding one body for another.
