“Made by Hand”, the taste for contemporary handcraft

Hace unas semanas descubríamos a través de Selectism ‘Made by Hand‘, un nuevo libro que nos introduce en los talleres de artesanos de Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y Escandinavia. Desde luthieres que crean violines hasta cómo se hacen las cucharas de manera. Lámparas, relojes, papeles japoneses o zapatos. Con el subtítulo ‘Contemporary makers, traditional practices‘, Nick Warner ha recopilado un conjunto de creadores que definen el gusto por el detalle y los orígenes de las tradiciones. A través de entrevistas, los artesanos explican las motivaciones que les llevan a hacer su trabajo. El libro perfecto para viajar a través de creadores de todo el globo y conocer de cerca el minucioso trabajo que hacen con sus manos.

Through interviews, the artisans explain the motivations that make them to do their work. The perfect book to travel through creators around the world and to get to know closer the meticulous work just made with their hands.
