Our Director, Nik Clarke, recently travelled to Porto for a fascinating chairmakers experience, kindly invited by Castlebrook and hosted by CMcadeiras.
The visit offered a behind-the-scenes look at the chair-making process, from the selection and preparation of materials through to the skilled craftsmanship involved in producing the finished piece.
It was a great opportunity to learn more about the time, precision and expertise that goes into something we might otherwise take for granted – as well as seeing first-hand how traditional techniques and modern manufacturing come together.
A big thank you to Castlebrook for the invitation and to CMcadeiras for such an interesting and insightful experience.
