There’s a certain kind of furniture that makes a kitchen feel complete — not just filled, but grounded. The Silver City Kitchen Island is exactly that kind of piece. Hand-carved, generously sized, and unapologetically bold, it brings both beauty and function to the heart of the home.

Handmade in Mexico from solid wood, the Silver City Island commands attention the moment you see it. Every carved detail tells a story — one of time-honored artistry, careful craftsmanship, and purpose. It’s built not just to be admired, but to be used. And used well.

Its thoughtful design features double-sided drawers, giving you access from either side — ideal for a busy kitchen, shared prep space, or even as a centerpiece for entertaining. The open shelving below offers the perfect place to store cookware, baskets, or those rustic serving pieces you don’t want hidden away.

At nearly 6 feet long and over 3 feet deep, it’s a serious piece of furniture — and one that feels right at home in spaces where life is lived richly. Whether you’re kneading dough, prepping vegetables, or pouring drinks for a crowd, the Silver City Island holds its ground with grace and strength.

This piece is made to order and not currently in stock. Please allow 4–16 weeks for completion and delivery. Shipping is available — just contact us for a quote.

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
