In 1996, Naomi Neilson founded Native Trails. Using her passion for artisan tradition, sustainability, and fair trade practices to bring the work of undiscovered artisans from central Mexico first to central California and then on to living spaces throughout North America. Combining the artisans’ age-old traditions with contemporary design and sustainable materials, Naomi broke new ground with Native Trails iconic copper sinks and helped to introduce copper as a mainstay material for the kitchen and bath.

Naomi and her team continue to find new trails to be forged, researching new offerings and traveling throughout the world, searching out undiscovered artisans who can bring life to Native Trails’ innovative designs.  Native Trails has expanded far beyond copper sinks; its artisan-made product lines have grown to include groundbreaking NativeStone® concrete sinks, vanities made of reclaimed wood, bathtubs, furniture, a range of home decor products, and now spun-glass Italian sinks.

From the beginning, Native Trails was determined to be not only socially responsible but also environmentally responsible. Rooted in the traditions of centuries-old artisan craftsmanship, Native Trails still takes every opportunity to use recycled, reclaimed, or green certified materials, bringing eco-consciousness to luxury living.
