“...The raw material, which looks like the weather has been beating the crap out of it for decades: Add a little (okay, a lot) of elbow grease... ...and the result are these gorgeous 20-foot long benches, hoisted up to the building’s second floor by means of a crane.”
【ABOUT】
Reclaiming this lumber that came from the retrofitting of this building to make furniture for the new office space was a joy. Watching the weathered wood look brand new again and creating clean, raw pieces in a modern but traditional design was a perfect use of this material.
