CRAFTSMANSHIP

After cutting and working the wood, they begin steaming it for between six and twelve hours to make it soft and flexible. The shape of the wood then comes alive, through hand bending and using custom frames. This craft requires experience, patience and strong hands. This slow shaping technique enables the creation of light, strong and extremely durable pieces. Padded using only natural and environmentally friendly materials such as hairlok, a mixture of animal hair and natural latex, as well as wool felt, all of which age beautifully.
