Island Treasures: Martin & MacArthur

martin-macarthur-1Martin & MacArthur has been making fine furniture longer than any individual or company in the history of Hawai‘i. They are the fine furniture maker of ‘Iolani Palace and fine Hawai‘i resorts such as the Royal Hawaiian, the Moana Surfrider, the Four Seasons, the Ritz Carleton, and the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel.

Two years ago they opened a flagship store at the Kings’ Shops, located at Waikoloa Beach Resort. This store highlights fine furniture made by the best craftsmen from Hawai‘i Island.

martin-macarthur-2One of their featured artists creates these beautiful platters made with koa, mango wood, purple heart, and other local and exotic hardwoods.

Each platter is inspired by the Hilo rain that keeps the eastern part of Hawai‘i Island so verdant and lush.

The lines of the design are translucent and create a beautiful effect when light passes through. Each platter is handmade by Hawai‘i Island craftsmen, Tim and Tiffany.

These are available exclusively at Martin & MacArthur Kings Shops.
