Making a Chair Again | Episode 1

Twelve years ago, I posted a video of myself making a chair. It ended up changing my life. That first video led to more videos, design work, and eventually the businesses I run today. But somewhere along the way, things grew, and changed. So I’m starting again. This is the beginning of a new series where I return to what started it all: designing and making a chair not for a client, not for production, but for myself. Slower. More intentional. Back to basics. To those who’ve been here since the early days, thank you. And if you’re new here, welcome. I’m glad you found this. There’s more to come, not just about this chair, but about Hoek, design, and the process behind the work. Subscribe if you’d like to follow along.
