Description

Trees have been a principal building material for most of human history, with archaeological findings showing that humans were using stone axes as early as 40,000 years ago.


With the advent of machinery during the Industrial Revolution making woodworking more efficient and accessible, this Making short episode asks why a designer today might opt for hand working over industrialised techniques. 


Host Evi Hall speaks to industrial and product designer duo Inma Bermúdez and Mortiz Krefter about why they decided to employ hand working techniques in the making of The Lost Herd, a series of animal-depicting wooden furniture sculptures.
