This video post brings together 2 of my great life passions, facial hair and well designed, hand-made furniture. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Chad Parkinson crafts beautifully made wooden furniture.
I aspire to bring nice things back into the home by showcasing the natural beauty of wood through custom design, thus shifting the modern focal point of admiration from the mechanical. Currently, there is a disturbing tendency to buy cheap boxed furniture that we assemble ourselves knowing it will not last a single generation. Furniture is not meant to be replaced with other trends, but cherished.
Machines work for the masses with indifference, manufacturing generic goods for ordinary needs.
