Designer Sabina Hill, in collaboration with First Nations artists, creates original custom furniture, art and installations which merges the rich mythology of North West Coast aboriginal culture with a contemporary design aesthetic. Sabina skillfully integrates Native motifs into her work creating a unique, contemporary expression, one that evokes the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and celebrates the convergence of two distinct design cultures. Her handcrafted museum quality works are authenticated limited editions and commissions that showcase an ever-expanding palette of materials which reflect her eminently collectible and evolving design aesthetic.

Sabina will be exhibiting work from her three collections at 100% Design in London, England, September 18-22 (http://www.100percentdesign.co.uk). The highly sculptural Dwell Collection introduces motifs cut in solid walnut with ebonized inlays and organic shaped glass. The New Spirit Collection features bold saturated colours, rich high gloss finishes and exotic woods. The Formlines Collection, launched in 2004, is made from local BC woods, Douglas Fir and Alder, combined with precision cut metal and glass.

Original native motifs are designed by First Nations artist's Andy Everson (Comox-Kwakwaka'wakw), Mark Preston (Tlingit) and Steve Smith (Kwakwaka'wakw).
