Moss studios, inc. opened in 2005 after owner Breck Armstrong left his job working with antiques and salvage in Chicago for the space and serenity of a farm in Fowlerville, Michigan. This decision, along with his background in ceramics and nine years creating exhibits for the Brookfield Zoo, inspired him to create moss studios. Using his unique and ever changing collection of industrial salvage and antique finds, Breck designs "industrial modern" furniture and home accessories. In addition to these pieces, moss studios also carries a line of hand finished concrete pots and planters in various sizes and styles.
