Working with Wood -9789522672353

描述

Wood is present throughout the Nordic countries. Abundant, dark forests color the growing childhood memories of the north, wood warms Nordic homes and Nordic European design is always strongly associated with this natural material.

Working with Wood is a collection of reflections and information about Nordic carpentry. It draws on the interview material of Nikar’s carpenters and their personal notes. It is a book that tells about the biology of northern forests, the journey from wood to design and rational woodworking from the point of view of the craftsman. Nika is an internationally recognized design studio and furniture manufacturer. Established by the master engineer Kari Virtanen in 1967, he worked closely with Finnish designers and architects such as Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck and has continued to work with today’s most famous designers.

Nicholas wants to take on the understanding of the traditional local carpentry for the next generation so that wood can best be utilized in the future of Nordic design.
