Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, this beautiful folding accent table is created by artisans of Vidri Arte. They depict a mandala in colourful glass mosaic, each piece placed by hand and set into a black wrought iron base.

Because each piece is individually crafted, each is absolutely unique. The motifs could differ slightly from those pictured and the size could vary by as much as +/- 2 cm (1 in).

Seven circles in sweet sky blue align on deep sapphire. Artisans from Vidri Arte craft a folding table from wrought iron to showcase the serene motifs. The images are created with pieces of stained glass, cut by hand and mounted on a clear glass base. "When light shines through the glass, you can appreciate its beauty even better," explain the artisans. "More importantly though, through working with glass we want to give people the light of hope."

An exquisite five-piece set of matching accent tables is inspired by Colonial art and designed by artisan Abel Rios in Peru. The set is hand-crafted from local mohena wood and leather with embossed and hand-painted floral, leaf and bird motifs. These beautiful accessories feature an antiqued finish and are meant to be used as accent, side or coffee tables and benches.

Condors soar across smooth tooled leather, the stylized images inspired by Inca art. Crafted by hand, this comfortable tornillo wood ottoman features a foam-padded seat and opens to provide out-of-sight storage. This beautiful piece comes from the Rios Family.

Women working in textile studios in Rajasthan embroider and hand-bead the vintage fabric that adorns this colorful footstool, designed by Ganpat Mehta. Removable acacia wood legs make it easy to store, but a piece this versatile is likely to always find a use. Try it as a footstool, low table, or even extra seating at a party. Each footstool uses upcycled textiles in blue-green tones, but the unique materials ensure that no two designs will be exactly alike.

The legs of this table, finely worked on a lathe, capture the essence of light through their almost parabolic contours. Abel Ríos accents this bench with a leather seat, smooth in the center, yet intricately embossed along the border. Finished with a walnut-colored lacquer, the piece testifies to the artisan's ability to combine furniture and art, resulting in captivating accessories for any room of the home.
