Ruiz Bar Cabinet

Once a year, thousands of monarch butterflies migrate to an enchanting Mexican village where metalworking is a cherished skill passed down through generations. From this inspiring destination comes the Ruiz Bar Cabinet, forged over an open flame to create distinctive patterns and colors, breathing new life into materials that would otherwise be discarded. Built with sturdy oak wood and iron construction featuring recycled copper cabinet doors, the Ruiz collection blends the beauty of nature with the skilled craftsmanship of our expert artisan partners, resulting in an exquisite and authentic work of art.

• Handcrafted by our artisan partners in Mexico using iron, oak wood, and recycled copper.
• The interior includes hanging stemware storage, a wine bottle rack, and two drawers accessible via push-to-open doors.
• Bar cabinet doors are made from sheets of recycled copper that are hand-hammered and finished with lacquer for added protection and a subtle sheen.
• To achieve its unique and vibrant coloring, the recycled copper sheets are forged over an open flame and then hand-hammered while hot until the desired texture is achieved.
• Upon completion, artisans manually stamp a Monarch butterfly to signify transformation. For the indigenous Purepecha people, the Monarch holds significant cultural symbolism, representing the preservation of customs, culture, and traditions passed down through generations.
• This collection is artisan-crafted from reclaimed materials with hand-applied finishes. Individual pieces may vary in color, pattern, and texture, making each one truly unique.
