Handcrafted Furniture & Decor | Cocoon Gallery
Cocoon Gallery was founded over two decades ago with a vision to transform natural materials into functional art. Our expertise lies in sourcing exotic woods and minerals from Southeast Asia, where we collaborate with local communities to ensure sustainable practices. Every piece we create undergoes a meticulous process combining scientific precision and artisan craftsmanship, resulting in heirloom-quality furniture and decor. Our team of skilled artisans works directly with architects, interior designers, and homeowners to customize pieces that align with individual aesthetic and functional needs. With galleries in Naples, Palm Beach, and Greenwich, we provide in-home consultations, personalized installations, and global shipping to serve a diverse clientele. Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our policy of replanting trees for every one harvested and utilizing only petrified or fallen wood.The relocation of our woodshop to Naples in 2022 has enhanced our ability to offer clients direct access to our creative process and material selection. Our 25,000-square-foot facility houses an extensive inventory of raw materials, including slabs up to 20 feet in length, allowing for unparalleled customization. Through continuous innovation in drying, staining, and epoxy techniques, we ensure each creation maintains structural integrity and aesthetic beauty for generations. Our galleries serve as immersive spaces where collectors and design professionals discover unique pieces that redefine modern organic aesthetics.

Services
Custom Woodwork
Our custom woodwork service transforms sustainably sourced exotic woods into unique furniture pieces. Clients select from raw slabs up to 20 feet long for tables, sculptures, and architectural elements. The process combines kiln drying, precision shaping, and artistic finishing techniques to create heirloom-quality works that integrate seamlessly with interior spaces.
Live Edge Tables
We craft live edge tables using petrified wood with natural contours preserved. Each piece undergoes a multi-step treatment including stabilization, sanding, and protective coating. Available in dining, coffee, and console variations, these tables showcase organic patterns enhanced through custom staining and epoxy inlays.
Root Sculptures
Our artisans create statement sculptures from reclaimed root systems. The process preserves natural forms while enhancing structural integrity through specialized drying techniques. These pieces serve as focal points for residential and commercial spaces, available in various sizes and wood types.
Mineral Decor
We source geodes, agate, jasper, and onyx specimens to create decorative objects and lighting fixtures. Each piece is cut and polished to highlight natural crystalline structures. These mineral-based decor items complement wooden elements in creating balanced, organic interiors.
In-Home Consultations
Our design team provides personalized consultations for integrating functional art into living and commercial spaces. Services include material selection, spatial planning, and installation guidance. We collaborate with clients and design professionals to ensure each piece enhances its environment's aesthetic and practical requirements.
