New Events for Evolutia!


Last week was quite an eventful one as we counted down to the minutes till a name was drawn to win the table by Evolutia.

We were lucky enough to record the whole thing so we could share with you the most anticipated moment.


 

  Congratulations to Curt Phillips for winning the drawing!

 We look forward to meeting you soon!

Now I know that for all you others, you are not excited to hear that someone else won and yes, I understand, trust me. This will not be the only give away Evolutia will have. There are still many more to come and many more chances to win other cool things by Evolutia! Just be sure to "Like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Tumbler, Google+, YouTube and FourSquare to stay on top of all the latest updates and sign up to our newsletter at our Evolutia Website.

 

As you all know Evolutia is collaborating with Recherché Furnishings to bring you an amazing new product that will definitely be the next new rave in any interior space!

 

The craftsmanship executed with so much care and passion to creating some of the most unique and exquisite tables around. One of the most prominent styles of Recherché is the use of pigmented concrete to produce a beautiful, solid yet functional piece that will leave you dazzled! Some of the concrete tabletops also include different crushed objects such as glass to give the piece more colorful life for those who are interested in a more vibrant table. With so many variables allowing anyone to customize their very own table into exactly the style and vibe they may want. June brings the collaboration between Evolutia's reclaimed beauties intertwined with Recherché's exquisitely captivating creations. On June 19-25, Recherché will be showcasing their entire line and featuring our new collaborative pieces at the Dallas Market Center, Omni Sales Group, Suite 333. The Omni Sales Group owns a breathtaking 15,000 square foot award-winning showroom facing the atrium of the Dallas World Trade Center. As we draw closer, we also draw closer to getting to see the final pieces to the series of Evolutia and Recherché collaborative creations. Visit Recherché Furnishings!

 

 

Elmore house given a second life...

One of our new reclamation projects is the Elmore house which was owned by General John Archer Elmore in the 1820's. This interesting house is located in Elmore, Alabama on a beautiful green landscape under clear blue skies. Two stories tall and with incredibly features throughout, this house is beyond a stunning piece of history.

The home was definitely spacious and also consists of different areas of the house built with smaller doors and passage ways all throughout. The kitchen which you can see to your far right was built separate from the rest of the house as to be able to save the rest of the house in case the kitchen ever caught on fire. Underneath the kitchen lies a underground storage for different goods they may need to have stored during down seasons. Along the back the house is lined wit a large covered porch. Each room within the house contains a fireplace, including the rooms upstairs. It's apparent this home was belonging to of someone of much wealth at that time. The doorknobs are detailed with intricate patterns and imagery. Just studying the layout of the house is intriguing as you learn the different function and purposes each room may or may not have served especially since today many homes are built more based on the style rather than functionality.



One of the interesting things to notice especially if you are of an artistic soul, are the details and usage of a plant and vase on the doorknob. It makes you think about drawing or painting a still life and the symbolism that is associated.

From reclaiming wood to windows to sinks, the discoveries continue to be a surprise. All these reclaimed materials will be once again put to good use and made available at Evolutia.

 

Be sure to stay connected with Evolutia on the web so you can keep track of all new happenings with Evolutia as well as new contests and events!




Thank you to all those who have supported Evolutia!
Evolutia continues to work for you and providing you the best services, products and materials for your home and business needs!

Tell Me More

EVOLUTIA: The Art of Transformation

Evolutia reclaims wood, stones, windows, doors, objects, and more! 

Sustainable Resources Readily Available

Evolutia reclaims all sorts of amazing materials from the different buildings and establishments built decades or a century ago. Bulks of premium materials were used in these days, which allows the materials to be a perfect resource for building and creating new spaces with reminiscence of the history that was left behind along with some of these old buildings. From stone to wood to metal, all sorts of materials are reclaimed from each place, but a majority of the material reclaimed is the antique wood found in all these locations.

Evolutia believes in a better, sustainable world for the generations of today and in the future. Protecting natural resources is important, and one way to actively promote sustainability is by reusing the materials reclaimed from old buildings and fixtures that are not being used anymore. Once the materials are prepped and used into an interior space or even a coffee table, you are left with a beautiful, premium quality, historical piece or space that gives style and character to any home, office, or business.

If you are interested in contacting Evolutia about selecting a supplier of  reclaimed, antique wood or other possible reclaimed materials, and/or seeking to have a custom home furnishing built or purchase one currently available built with antique wood - contact info@evolutiamade.com with your inquiry.

EVOLUTIA at High Point Market


High Point Market Brings New Beginnings to EVOLUTIA

In High Point, North Carolina, one of the largest markets in the world takes place within the city for an entire week. Over thousands of vendors, buyers, businesses, architects, designers, students and clients attend this market every year.

This April marks the 1st High Point Market experience for Evolutia to attend such a large, reputable show and present the first few pieces of the furniture series Evolutia created from reclaimed materials. All perfectly hand crafted and made from materials that can never be replicated. Each piece is unique and original with a hidden historical story background from the materials it was built from.

New connections and ideas from High Point Market gives Evolutia the opportunity to start brainstorming on some new designs, plans and styles to build functional and visually irresistible home furnishings by reusing reclaimed materials. Evolutia promotes the idea of sustainability and the idea of efficiently using readily, available resources that can be found and reclaimed rather than harming any of our untouched, natural resources.

Sustainability does not have to be just a thought. It can be an action, an effort or even an end product. Evolutia believes in a better world and taking steps to make it a more sustainable place for generations now and in the future.
