Turtle and Hare

Headed by married furniture builders Chris Weiss and Monica Reskala, this Oakland shop is a trove of richly grained wood, stark white walls and black floors. You'll find live edge dining tables, sculptural chairs and lamps sustainably built from locally sourced lumber, including black acacia, cypress and redwood. The pair of owners is inspired by contemporary Japanese design, highlighting clean lines and exposed joinery. In addition to their own work, Weiss and Reskala carry a small selection of jewelry, tabletop accessories and gifts by Japanese craftsmen, including glasswork, ceramics and stationery.
