Sabina Hill

The Duthie Gallery is pleased and proud to represent Canadian architect, designer and studio furniture artist Sabina Hill.

Sabina creates fine art, limited edition furniture and custom installations which merge the rich mythology of North West Coast aboriginal culture with a contemporary design aesthetic. She skillfully integrates Native motifs into her work creating a unique, contemporary expression that evokes the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and celebrates the convergence of two distinct design cultures.

On exhibit in the gallery now:

Ovoid Coffee Table - Salmon Trout Head

1.5” solid walnut top with ebonized walnut inlay, walnut legs, glass and stainless steel-standoffs. L 55.5” W 29” H 16 ”
Edition 2/10

The distinctive shape of the table and glass top is inspired by the most characteristic shape used in Northwest Coast art, a rounded rectangle, termed the ovoid. The salmon trout head motif in the table is a design element featuring fish head elements in profile.
