Very much a labor of love for me, I wanted to share these amazing images of some chairs actually being made in India. We so often focus on the end product and not the in between - the time, energy and skill that goes into a hand made chair crafted 3,000 miles away. This 9 month exercise really opened my eyes as to the many humble hands involved in something so seemingly simple. There's a real beauty and honesty to that.

Thank you so much for sharing the hard work of the "behind the scenes" people who make all our beautiful work possible. I'm constantly amazed how much I rely on all my labor force to make my work a reality and they very rarely get credit they deserve. This was an amazing post. I look forward to reading your blog. I'm, too, new to blogging but I love it. Talk with you soon.
