This pre-holiday season, DSHOP is thrilled to introduce one of our latest and most adored new additions – the Robot Monkey line by Monroe Workshop. Led by talented sculptor / furniture maker Matt Monroe, the studio combines traditional woodworking techniques with responsibly harvested wood species and salvaged reclaimed lumber to turn out heirloom quality pieces certain to win your design loving hearts…

Perfectly poised for family heirloom status, each Robot Monkey Rocking Horse is hand made to order and one-of-a-kind.

This wild herd of mini Robot Monkey Horses is made from cotton rope and small scraps of cast off hardwood. A uniquely whimsical breed, RMH’s are as perfect for expanding young imaginations as they are for decorating the desks of creative folk.

Built to stand the test of time, this little Robot Monkey is looking for his forever home. Irresistibly charming, he’s the perfect gift for the aesthetically minded parent who believes in quality craftsmanship and the cultivation of imagination sans the chaos of plastic and blinking lights.

The designer behind it all… Following years in the construction and design industry, Matt Monroe took a job at BDDW in New York City where he spent several years constructing the brand’s acclaimed line of wood furnishings. Soon after, Matt moved to Michigan where he received a MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. While his large-scale sculptures exhibit across the country, today Matt focuses on combining his construction knowledge with his background in fine art to create furniture designs that balance the rigor of sculpture with the pragmatism of furniture classics. Beginning this month, DSHOP is thrilled to offer Monroe Workshop’s one-of-a-kind Robot Monkey family filled with all the heart, soul and charm any human can handle. Rock on Robot Monkey enthusiasts, rock on.
