Your Source for Earth-Sourced Handcrafted Furniture & Decor
Cocoon Gallery was founded in Greenwich, Connecticut over 20 years ago with a vision to transform natural materials into functional art. Our journey began with a commitment to sustainability, ensuring no live trees are harvested for our creations. We travel to remote mountain villages in Southeast Asia, collaborating with local experts who plant a tree for every one we source. Our relocation of the woodshop to Naples, Florida in 2022 brought our craftsmanship closer to our flagship gallery on 5th Avenue South, where clients can witness the metamorphosis of raw materials into one-of-a-kind pieces. Our team of artisans, led by founder Mitchell Siegel, employs a meticulous multi-step process combining science and art to create enduring works of art. We specialize in live edge tables, root sculptures, and mineral-based decor, offering in-home consultations, custom installations, and global shipping.Our galleries in Naples, Palm Beach, and Greenwich serve as showcases for collectors and design professionals seeking unique, sustainable additions to their spaces. With table slabs measuring up to 20 feet long, we provide unparalleled customization options while maintaining a dedication to quality and environmental responsibility. Our expertise extends to working with architects and interior designers to curate spaces that highlight the organic beauty of our creations. Through continuous innovation and adherence to ethical sourcing practices, we remain at the forefront of the handcrafted furniture industry.

Report
We placed an order for a console table with Mitchell, the owner of Cocoon before COVID - shortly thereafter his store and factory was closed during the lockdown which we totally understood. However almost two years later and his stores are back open for business - he is avoiding us and refusing to either deliver the piece we ordered or give us a refund. Yet again last week he told us that he would fedex a check and nothing. Buyer beware - this guy is shady.

Report
Cocoon has some of the most interesting and unique pieces for the home made from natural materials. Mitchell and his team can make one of a kind tables, lighting, wood art, etc. New location is key and a Greenwich must see.
