Monday, Back to the grind
In the 1970�s one person stood out as the stronghold of fine wood lamination furniture. Fine Woodworking took a particular liking to him. Not above using chain saw and pneumatic ball mills to form his creations. He also used bent paper clips to work out the line of some of his flowing shapes. Today, to me his 1970's work seems heavy in spite of the flowing lines, but back then people ooohed and aaahed every finished piece. Who was this designer woodworker?
Re: Monday, Back to the grind
I'm torn on this one between guessing a Swedish guy or a tag-team brother act that Herman Miller also took a liking to?
Tommy
Not there yet.
Not Charlie or Ray, Not Tage, nor the Kren man. Born in Kansas but he's not in Kansas anymore! Lots of museum pieces. Modern stuff is wilder in execution. Still out there today.
