Inspired by William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice Act 1 Scene 1 between Antonio and Gratiano
ANTONIO: I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano, A stage where every man must play a part, And mine a sad one.
GRATIANO: Let me play the fool. With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart cool with mortifying groans. Why should a man whose blood is warm within Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster.
Literature inspired hand-illustrated, painted, splattered and scraped, capped steel tube with a shou sugi ban wood cradle.

Handcrafted accent furniture that blends with the decor and stands alone as art.

Andrea Wendel designs and crafts functional home accents. One-of-its-kind and custom pieces that make an “out of the ordinary” style impact to your décor. Home accents that are inspired by nature, indigenous cultures and a curious eye.
In the Andi-Le studio, based outside of Aspen, Colorado, large components are sculpted and the surfaces become blank canvases where the play of textures and inlays takes place.
Andrea majored in Illustration at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. As a muralist, her clients were residential as well as commercial, painting in many hotels and restaurants across the country. Beginning in 1990 sculpture took over. Large totemic work turned in to barstools and the rest is history. Form and function became her passion. With the founding of Andi-Le in 2002, Andrea has worked with clients, designers and architects to bring their vision to life as well as being represented in galleries for her unique work.
