"Sabina's work is demonstrating the next phase in the development of North West Coast art and design."
Dr. George MacDonald
Former president of the Bill Reid Foundation
Director of Simon Fraser University's Bill Reid Centre of NWC Art Studies

Canadian designer Sabina Hill, in collaboration with aboriginal artists, creates original custom furniture, art and installations which merges the rich mythology of West Coast native culture with a contemporary design aesthetic.

Sabina graduated in architecture with honours from the University of British Columbia and in environmental studies from the University of Manitoba. As the principal of her own boutique design firm for 18 years, Sabina has an essential understanding of industry issues which enable her to create exceptional work and deliver outstanding service.

Born in Vancouver, BC, Sabina is inspired by First Nations imagery which is deeply-rooted in Pacific Northwest regional culture-she 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 highly collectible and evolving design aesthetic.

Sabina's Prow Table was acquisitioned by the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto for their permanent collection. She was also awarded "One to Watch" in Furniture Design by Western Living Magazine's for 2009.
