Since 1990, Pitkin Stearns has provided the KB Collection Sand Art and has since expanded to travel games and zen gardens for a peaceful and enjoyable collection.
Pitkin Stearns was created by brothers Chris and Rike Wootten. For years, the Woottens lived in Japan and soon launched their company with the country being the main trading partner. The Woottens distributed the sand art by Austrian artist Klaus Bosch beginning in 2007 and launched the remainder of their collection, zen gardens, and games, in 2013.
The KB Collection (Klaus Bosch Collection) of sand art comes in a variety of pieces that can easily be sat on a desktop or mounted on a wall, ranging from small to large. These art pieces are interactive, versatile and ever-changing with each turn of the frame. Each blend of sand is carefully chosen to harmonize with the frame, and the user controls the flow of the sand by adjusting the amount of air in each picture. Educational for children and relaxing for adults, Bosch handcrafts his sand art with a precise attention to detail that makes each item extremely unique.
Long road trips are no longer daunting and seemingly boring with the Pitkin Stearns Sondergut roll-up games collection. Backgammon, chess, and checkers are all available, with reversible playing pieces for chess and checkers. The leather boards roll up to the size of a pocket umbrella, making it comfortable and easy to transfer. Pieces are stored in the zippered pockets and the handsewn board fits with ease into bags or pockets. The games are designed in Germany with the goal of weighing next to nothing, and existing as the highest quality travel game on the market.
Some can find it difficult to sit still when the need for relaxation calls. The zen gardens by Pitkin Stearns offer a soothing alternative to twiddling the thumbs. The tabletop gardens are handmade in Austria and are used to meditate or spruce up a room. According to Japanese style, these gardens bring inspiration and allow creativity to flow.
The simplicity of the products at Pitkin Stearns can help streamline the chaos of day to day life, whether enjoying a moving picture or a basic game of checkers!
