Owner, Dakota Meeks, is the sole artisan fabricating home accents inspired by nature’s core elements and re-imagined with a modern twist, blending functional purpose and aesthetic beauty.
As a crafts(wo)man, Dakota’s design-build approach aligns with the culture and priorities of Montana —
rugged individualism,
connection to place and story,
respect for the natural environment, and
desire for sustainable living.
Her modern-rustic, nature-inspired designs, and custom-built pieces appeal to those seeking a physical representation of their own unique story.
Nature’s core elements – earth, fire, water, wood, metal, air – are the foundational elements of the natural world. They also provide a framework for the intangible flow of energy.
When we really tune in and listen…they also help us understand our own physiology and persona at a deeper level in our efforts to wisely navigate our way along life’s journey.
The Core Elements Studio logo is a visual and symbolic representation of this complex interdependence of the natural world.
While each visual component has an associated meaning, the elements collectively inform the company values, design process, and production priorities.
