Old world craftsmanship meets Southern charm. I can't say enough about the inspired pieces from Bourgeoise 3d. I was captivated by the curvaceous silhouettes, lovely finishes, and natural textures of this contemporary classical furniture. Bourgeoisie 3d is more than a pretty line; It's the kind of company I love to support, a cottage industry that brings together an artistic vision with a life philosophy. We as consumers have choices that we make every day that can make a difference in our community.
I would like to share a little passage from their company about their philosophy...the story behind this beautiful new line:
"The furniture plant in Sumter, SC closed its doors, sent its men and women home and sought its fortune in a foreign land. The pine planked floors that once hummed with the sounds of craftsmen and machinery were suddenly silent. For weeks, outsiders scoured the plant for things they might salvage - hardware, lumber, furniture carts....Something remained...a presence was left. Sunlight streamed through the windows and cast a silvery sheen on the dust...there was a power. It was the souls of men...the dust mixed with the sweet salt and sweat of their hands. It is the story of the smiling eyes of craftsmen who take pride in each piece they create........"
Bourgeoisie 3d bought key pieces of the machinery and gathered a small nucleus of the craftsman with the common dream of creating a new line of furniture and new hope for this South Carolina community. They named this collection "The SoulDust Collection". I can personally say this line truly has soul.
I hope you will join me in supporting this lovely vision...
