Wooden Objects by Dairoku at OEN Shop
Although I often talk about furniture, I rarely ever discuss those smaller handmade woodworks. This could be wooden utensils for example, such as spoons and other tools, or even vessels and containers. I guess it’s not all that often that you see craftsmen making such goods, or they’re not reall
Gateleg Table, Desk Pad and Containers by Studio Eric Degenhardt
Designer Eric Degenhardt has really impressed me with the progression of his own work, which can be clearly seen in his portfolio showcased on his studio website.
Florian Saul, Furniture Design and Development

Wooden Cutlery by atelier TREE SONG
iichi has turned out to be a fantastic resource, I find myself searching through different craftsmen and makers on a regular basis.

Wooden Furniture and Furnishings by Nikari
Nikari aren't a company that I've really come across before, which is quite embarrassing considering they were founded in 1967 and have been producing quality furniture for many years. It's particular distressing because the furniture is up there with some of the best I've seen to date, and I had a
