While much of North America is now thinking more of watching football games by the fire than spending time outside, many areas in the West are entering one of the most pleasant times of year.

Mosaic Art Designed in Arizona, the intricate mosaic designs and ironwork bases make this Bistro Set a truly singular work of art. The mosaics are made of hand-cut and hand-laid stained glass, the same material used for church windows. The unique molding process leaves the top and sides of the table completely smooth, with no jagged edges. It also prevents the glass pieces from popping loose.

Mission style furniture became popular at the beginning of the 20th century and is so named because it is reminiscent of the furniture of the (Spanish) American South West with its exposed joinery and rectilinear lines. Its functional design and natural materials lend an air of stability, serenity and simplicity to your patio.
