I found my time at Davids very valueable in learning how a design business and workshop is run. It was alot of fun being able to help work on the CNC machine, put together lights, assemble packaging and shipping containers, and get to know the staff at the workshop. Since spending the week with David and his team i actually got a whole new appreciation for his furniture and lighting. The amount of hand craft that is still implemented into creating his designs is remarkable. For example, his lights that are constructed with rivets, when looking at them in the shop or seeing them in a magazine its very easy to glance over the fact that ever single one of those rivets were done by hand by a worker in little Hastings. Or the commision bench they were making at the time, in which ever single length of wood had to be steem bent and hand shaped to fit the structure. I think i came to this level of apprecaition once having first hand experience in the construction.
I thoughourly enjoyed my time spent with David and his team and would like to thank all of them for being so welcoming and friendly.
