I highly respect the simple Anglo-Saxon approach to woodwork esteeming handcrafted workmanship. It was an experience to discover the American Stan Pike’s box-like furniture, the American-Japanese George Nakashima’s chairs, or the objects of the Finnish companies Ranka and Tuulipuu. They are simple, their structures are precisely-constructed; that’s why they are beautiful. It gives them a charm that you can see the handcrafted workmanship and knowledge of materials when you look at them.
They reflect they are handcrafted.
