About Us
Cocoon Gallery, based in Naples and Palm Beach, Florida, is the country’s preeminent creator of modern organic furniture sourced from treasures from the earth, primarily from Southeast Asia. Founded in Greenwich, Connecticut more than 20 years ago, Cocoon moved its showroom to Naples' vibrant, historic 5th Avenue South in 2020, and opened in Palm Beach in 2024. Both stores are Itraffic-stopping attractions for the drama and beauty of their artful displays and attract a host of visitors from serious collectors to curious passers-by from throughout the world.
As a license holder for exporting exotic woods from Southeast Asia, Cocoon Gallery imports to its Naples woodshop raw materials that undergo a metamorphosis into one-of-a-kind legacy works of art for the home. Called functional art by founder Mitchell Siegel, Cocoon features a wide array of live edge tables, towering root sculptures, live edge mirrors, and wall art, as well as mineral-based decor (geodes, agate, jasper), mirrors, onyx, and more -- all one-of-a-kind.
Mitchell Siegel emphasizes that no live trees are harvested for Cocoon. “We may discover petrified, dead wood that has fantastic, interesting characteristics for tables or sculptures.” He explains, “Our product is 100% sustainable. We travel to remote mountain villages in Southeast Asia and work with the most knowledgeable locals and exporters who must plant a tree for each one we remove.”
100% Sustainable
In January 2022, Mitchell Siegel relocated Cocoon's woodshop from Greenwich to Naples, a stone's throw from the showroom. A team of artisans craft Cocoon's stunning products in the 25,000-square foot custom-built space. Buyers of tables and bases may select their own wood, with table slabs measuring up to 20-feet long. Artisans customize tables to precise styles and dimensions. They employ a multi-step process that combines science and art to dry, flatten, bleach, pigment, and carve. Slabs with natural splits are sometimes filled with colored epoxy, giving the wood a painted effect. The entire process ensures unsurpassed quality and longevity for generations.
Cocoon Gallery is proud to serve clientele from the architecture, design and hospitality communities. Mitchell Siegel and his team curate homeowners’ décor to best feature a Cocoon work of functional art. In-home consultations, personal hands-on installations, and superior crating and shipping are among Cocoon’s services.
