Two small Virginia businesses - each artisan-driven and each highly successful have joined forces to create custom-designed, handcrafted tables.
McKinnon and Harris has been making high-end outdoor furniture in Richmond since 1991. New Ravenna has been producing exquisite glass and stone mosaics on the Eastern Shore since 1992.
Now they've teamed up to turn out high-performance aluminum tables from McKinnon and Harris, topped with natural stone mosaics from New Ravenna.
"They have the same pursuit of excellence that we do, with a respect for creativity and the arts," says Will Massie, cofounder of McKinnon and Harris, about New Ravenna. "They don't want to be the biggest just the best."
Tabletops seemed a natural nexus. "We're adding something cool to their product, which they were looking for," Richard Walters, New Ravenna's CEO.
