Being a designer, the element of craftsmanship trickle down through every step of your process: From the initial sketches to small-scale models over technical drawings to making the tools for production and fine-tuning the final design for large-scale manufacturing.

With the Cover Side Chair, form-pressing the curved back in thin veneer into its elegant shape was only possible due to the skillful craftsmen at the production site that were so deeply embedded in the properties of the material while having an appreciation of large-scale production that allowed for us to take something which was incredibly hard to create in the first place into a large-scale production. Through that, the idea of creating a design that referenced the ideals of Scandinavian craftsmanship yet at an accessible price point was fulfilled. I find that moments like those serve as thoughtful reminders to myself as a designer; that I am simply a piece within a large process in which I am are largely dependent on the skillful minds and hands of others.
