Life--the great, unknown path. Each of us wayfarers in our own right, taking one step at a time.

The wind, the world, the wayfarer all connected, shaping one another--always evolving. This set is designed to embrace the vast, unique, sundry lands where we find ourselves. It navigates with us the ever-changing path by offering a range of beautiful tones--cool, warm, contrasty, muted.

Redwood Presets
There’s a place where the ocean meets land in a constant chorus of waves, where deep blue-green gives way to white, brown and slate. A place where the beaches are punctured with towers of rock and strewn with the trunks of old trees and where the saline air drifts slowly inland, mixing with fog that quiets the earth. In this place, of lush green and burnt orange hues, stand giants - majestic and ancient, breathing in mist and soaking up sunlight.
