Michele De Lucchi


'Michele De Lucchi and Sibylle Kicherer founded Produzione Privata in 1990 in order to design products to live with in our contemporary society
using man’s basic tools and talents: the hands and the mind. The creation finds its expression and refinement in numerous pencil drawings,
water-colours and studies.'
These tables are made of solid oak by Produzione Privata which is a small scale company founded on ideas of craftsmanship independent of ideas of industrial manufacture,carefully maintaining the identity and innate character of the materials and the dignity and skill of the craftsman.

Snickeriet


This is a cupboard made from acrylic glass and Swedish maple is truly honest in its display of construction techniques. The fittings, fasteners, the joinery of materials and even the mechanism of the locking bolt are all made visible.as well as being revealing as to the contents of the cupboard. I think it would actually be a great design for kitchen cupboards. It is made by Snickeriet, designed by Karl-Johan Hjerling and Karin Wallenbeck.

A storm in a cupboard





Havet is a series of pine cupboards whose surfaces have been treated to resemble night storms in the ocean. Designed by Karl-Johan Hjerling and Karin Wallenbeck for Snickeriet. The surfaces are chiseled by hand across all surfaces and joints and then stained and lacquered.
