01 / Introduction
Every object in a room was decided by someone. The shape, the material, the way it sits in your hand. Craft is a series of small, invisible decisions.
02 / The Process

Nothing looks designed until it's finished.

The middle of any project looks like failure. Pieces that don't fit, drafts that embarrass you later. The finished object erases all of that, which is exactly why it looks inevitable.

03 / The Question

Maybe it was everything you had to learn to make it.
