Their designs, upcycled from palm tree spathes, are uniquely earthy, tribal and futuristic.
Spathose, a St. Petersburg based company headed up by Scott Durfee and George Medeiros, creates wearable sculpture accessories from local organic materials. The duo recently celebrated a six-year milestone and is celebrating another big coup — they're now eligible to win one of 10 slots to be flown to New York City to meet with Martha Stewart as part of her 2014 American Made Awards, which recognize ingenuity and excellence in the fields of crafts, design, food, and style.
Prizes include a trip for two to New York City, a spot in her American Made Market, an opportunity to be featured in Martha Stewart Living, $10,000 to grow their business and more.
While Martha Stewart and her team are making their decisions, the general public is also able to vote for one of those slots as an audience favorite. Voting ends Oct. 13. Click here to vote for Spathose.
"We cannot express the impact that this win will have on our brand," says Medeiros. "So, please support us by voting; it's free, it's easy, and you could win a prize from Martha Stewart!"
