Cocoon Gallery, based in Naples, Florida, is the country’s preeminent creator of modern organic furniture sourced from treasures from the earth, primarily from Southeast Asia.
Founded in Greenwich, Connecticut more than 20 years ago, Cocoon moved its showroom to Naples’ vibrant, historic 5th Avenue South in 2020. It is a traffic-stopping attraction for the drama and beauty of its artful displays and attracts a host of visitors from serious collectors to curious passers-by.
As a license holder for exporting exotic woods from Southeast Asia, Cocoon Gallery imports to its Naples woodshop raw materials that undergo a metamorphosis into one-of-a-kind legacy works of art for the home. Called functional art by founder Mitchell Siegel, Cocoon features a wide array of live edge tables, towering root sculptures, live edge mirrors, and wall art, as well as mineral-based decor (geodes, agate, jasper), mirrors, onyx, and more — all one-of-a-kind.
Mitchell Siegel emphasizes that no live trees are harvested for Cocoon. “We may discover petrified, dead wood that has fantastic, interesting characteristics for tables or sculptures.” He explains, “Our product is 100% sustainable. We travel to remote mountain villages in Southeast Asia and work with the most knowledgeable locals and exporters who must plant a tree for each one we remove.”
