Decorative Bowls
Perfect for your dining table or kitchen counter. Each of our custom wood bowls are hand-turned by Ken in his shop in Spokane Valley. Ken likes to create bowls that are different from what’s out there. He experiments with different wood types, shapes and sizes, and configurations to draw out the unique characteristics inherent in each wood sample—including sometimes adding small bands of contrasting wood patterns that make for truly one-of-a-kind products.
Wood bowl care instructions:
Dust or wipe clean with a soft cloth or paper towel. If necessary, rinse or lightly wash and immediately wipe dry. Do not soak in water and do not put in the dishwasher.
If the bowl’s appearance dulls over time, apply a light coat of food-safe beeswax and buff with a soft cloth.
Outdoor Lighting
Enhance your entryway, yard, or garden with decorative—and durable—lamps that can be plugged in or solar-powered. Most of The Design Factory’s outdoor lights are inspired by traditional Japanese style.
Kitchen Accessories
Our handmade cutting boards are meant for elegant presentation as well as purpose, and are made to withstand long-term use. Perfect for everyday kitchen use or to display charcuterie or freshly cut bread.
Handcrafted Signs
The Design Factory specializes in a variety of sign-making techniques including handcarved, sandblasted, routered, multilayered, and mixed media. Each style has its own purpose and character, but all have one thing in common: The highest quality. None of them are done by CNC machines. The Design Factory produces each sign by hand, individually.
Doors and Gates
The Design Factory’s original custom doors and gates look great and function with precision both inside your house or as an entrance to a garden or winery. We’re particularly proud of the large entryway doors we built in 2010 for Tagaris Winery in Richland, Washington.
