2012 Catalog Outtake

A lot went into the making of our 2012 catalog. There is cleaning/arranging products and transforming spaces. Here is something a little different. Sorting through Ginkgo biloba leaves for a shoot. See the completed design and photograph "Glorious Ginkgo" on page 99. Here, our designers get hands on inspiration from nature to bring you nature inspired products and displays.

Stainless Steel Spheres

For 5 years our Stainless Steel Spheres have been sitting outside in sun, snow and rain... and this is Chicago. So sometimes we get all that at the same time. A slight patina may occur, but after 5 winters in the yard there is still no sign of rust. The brushed stainless steel is textured just enough to hide some of the elements nature leaves behind.

Our Stainless Steel Spheres instantly modernize your garden. At 26", 23" and 19" diameters these are hard to miss. Light weight, easy to move and even floats! The possibilty to design is limitless. For something more subtle, look into our 1.5", 2.5" and 3.5" diamater spheres. Tablescapes to Landscapes, bright sunny days in the yard to intimate candlelit dinners, elevate and modernize your space with a little help from Gold Leaf Design Group.

Local Designer Profile:

Local designer, great customer and swell guy John Rent from Into The Woods sent us some of his creations he has done with Gold Leaf Design Group's products. John travels far and wide to display his floral creations and he looks to Gold Leaf to keep his displays exciting and unpredictable. He also makes us jealous because of the tropical weather he often works in and the tan he sports as a bi-product of his hard work.



To liven space for an event, John used our Stainless Steel Spheres inside of this fountain. Functional and practical, these Spheres will not rust. They are good indoors, in the garden and now, in a fountain. Simple, small products in mass can pack a creative punch and reclaim space with site specific displays of art.


Above we see our Bleached Mulberry Round Disc. A versatile product that was used originally as wall art. John removed the the hinge hanging hardware on the back to liven up his tablescapes. Use to bring attention to floral arrangements or start getting creative and screw in things like our Koi and Gold Seed Wall Play.

Our Raw Resin Dragon Fruit made a great accent of texture on this table display. Design with every season in mind with Gold Leaf Design Group. Whether you need seasonal products, holiday displays and custom accents, Gold Leaf Design Group can help materialize the designer in you.
