"Unique, functional art for your home, bar, and garden. Handcrafted in Eliot, Maine using natural beach stones and granite"

Hours are spent searching for the perfect stones to be transformed. The shapes and textures made by the pounding surf and flowing currents are distinct to each stone. Each of these characteristics determine how it will be used. Some rocks are left natural, while others are hand-treated with oil to bring out their vibrant color or design, just as you would see them if they were washed up by a wave onto the beach!

Gathering stones has long been a favorite family pastime, and we hope that some of the joy that we experience will be passed on to you. We love showing off the beauty of nature by creating products which allow you to bring a little bit of that nature indoors in a unique form of functional art.

Nature-Made. Hand-Finished. Built to Last.

Nestled along the coast of Maine, Funky Rock Designs was born from a deep appreciation for nature’s raw beauty and a passion for craftsmanship. We create handcrafted home goods using one of the earth’s oldest materials—stone—transforming naturally tumbled beach rocks and granite into functional art. Our belief is simple: the organic beauty of the outdoors belongs in the places we live, work, and gather.

Our founder, Jeff Henderson, started Funky Rock Designs over a decade ago, inspired by years of living and working along the New England shoreline. What began as a creative outlet—turning found stones into gifts for friends and family—soon became a full-time craft. The more Jeff worked with stone, the more he recognized its unique character, rich history, and untapped potential. In 2006, Funky Rock Designs officially came to life.

Today, our small but mighty team operates out of a 3,000-square-foot workshop in Eliot, Maine, handcrafting one-of-a-kind pieces that highlight the natural elegance of stone. From lamps and vases to drink dispensers and kitchen tools, every Funky Rock product begins with a handpicked rock—selected for its shape, texture, and color, sculpted by surf and sand. We keep our process simple, using diamond drill bits, water, and time to preserve each stone’s natural form, enhancing rather than altering. Paired with natural materials like stainless steel, wood, and glass, every creation is thoughtfully designed to be both functional and enduring.

We’re proud to be American-made, and even prouder to be guided by the artistry of nature. No two stones are exactly alike—and that’s the point. Whether you’re gifting, gathering, or decorating, we hope our designs bring a little joy, a little calm, and a little nature into your everyday.

At Funky Rock Designs, we bring nature indoors in a way that’s authentic, artful, and built to last—because the best designs are the ones shaped by time itself.
