In a new video series presented by Mount Gay, The Original Spirits project takes an in-depth look at artisans who share similar values to the Barbadian rum producer: handmade, high-quality, history and progression. With an emphasis on unique products, Pete Raho's Gowanus Furniture Co. aims to create items for the modern consumer with a strong reference to the past. Located in Brooklyn, New York, he's best known for the Kentile Cutting Board, but it was his Treehouse Window Planters that grabbed my attention. While Raho is one of several subjects highlighted by these short films, his designs especially resonated because they have a classic warmth which would feel immediately natural in your home.
