Why I Do It
“They don’t make them like they used to”: A reference to a history of pride in craftsmanship that has waned with the advent of mass manufacturing. This colloquialism is not only a lamentation; but a begrudging acknowledgment that consumers and producers alike have created and fulfilled demand for repeatable, low cost, trendy goods made barely to outlast the whimsy of style that brought them forth. Such goods are detrimental not only to the pocketbook of the customer who has grown accustomed to repeatedly purchasing products which could easily be made to last a lifetime, but also to the environment. Industrial production has allowed us to replace thoughtful design with shear volume. In this pursuit we are simultaneously stripping forests and depositing the remains into landfills.
How I Do It
In my view, any piece of furniture must represent the balanced union of structural requirements and aesthetic desirability. While far from a traditionalist, I do take heed to the way things used to be made. Even today, our best practices of joinery come from millennia old traditions of craftsmanship from all over the world. Structures were made using joints that took advantage of principles of physics which had been intuited by the craftspeople of the past long before enlightenment thinkers created the equations to describe what was understood by generations of carpenters. I do my utmost to employ the lessons of that past paired with modern techniques and technologies to ensure the structure of each piece is made to last through generations.
