About the team:
These Creatures™ is a metal fabrication and design studio focused on producing quality, sustainable products for the modern creature. It is owned and operated by brother / sister team: Andrew Finkel (aka Frank Mansfield) and Amy Finkel. Andrew, whose background lies in custom furniture and retail design, founded these creatures in 2008, and is its current Founder & Creative Director. In 2009, Andrew welcomed his Brooklyn blood relation, Amy, to join as Director of Design & Marketing. There is no sibling rivalry between them but it probably doesn't hurt that Andrew and his shop, where all These Creatures™ products are manufactured, is located in the Seattle area, 3000 miles away from sis Amy. It's the perfect cross-country partnership!
At These Creatures™ we strive to produce innovative, unique and creative products of the highest quality. Currently, we provide an ergonomic and durable line for stylish animals and humans everywhere. Our designs are sleek pieces of art that complement modern decor and showcase the animal as part of the family. We produce products for dogs, cats, wildlife and humans.
Our commitment to animals extends beyond our business. Everyone at These Creatures™ is personally involved in animal rescue, and a percentage of our profits goes to the support of animal rescue organizations that make the world a better place for animals and the people who love them.- These Creatures™
