There are not many cultures, or people, who understand the importance of timeless beauty. What we see here is a perfect example of Northern European culture, knowledge and tradition. Something to be proud of. Let us preserve it, or loose it forever.
Beautiful chairs. JFK made these chairs iconic. ‘The Chair’. Although CNC machines devoid these classic chairs of true craftsmen, it’s prob for the sake of cost to consumers and productivity. Thx for posting
Are you blind ? Plenty of craftsmanship right there , are you expecting them to do one chair a day so you can feel satisfied but then you can't afford that chair ? Do you think the 100% handmade chair will be more comfortable elegant than the one they are making ?
Seriously? The way you think is so disappointing. To make a chair like this by hand is possible but to produce as many as these in a short period of time is not(yes if you have a lot of workers but what is the sense of having more workers and less earnings?)
I don't see you cry when timber is sawn by machines, so why cry when a machine gives wood it's rough shape ? Humans are still giving it it's refined and final state, I don't see the problem with it. It's a beautiful piece of furniture, very elegant.
I make Maloof low-back dining chairs by hand...no cnc. You have eliminated the craftsmen and their legacy. Still a nice chair. Make it out of any wood and let humans use the precious stuff, eh!
Very interesting to read "I make Maloof chairs"- like a painter saying: I paint Michelangelo ceilings. Is Modesty your middle name? I seriously don't think you have either the knowledge or the culture to criticise this firm's work. By the way, Sam Maloof's famous Rocking Chairs sold for 75,000$ a piece. Not something everyone could afford. Maybe you should do more work than talk, eh?
I'm sure you don't produce your chairs to 60 countries though ---there is no way we could get enough craftsmen to produce that many chairs, the ones we do have would also soon be worn down -all the workers in the workshop are trained carpenters and they are trained in doing the chairs by hand all the way, before they start using mashines for the hard work because the owner want them to know the trade to understanding the process perfectly

Very nicely done.

Я восхищён!
Nice
when was this filmed?
👍
This looks like the perfect chair to sit in and ponder your miserable life.
Machines and abrasive specialists. 'The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction'. Nice mass produced chair though.
Computers, machines, CNC ... Where are the woodworkers, the craftsmen? Disappointing!
