Sam Maloof

I went to see the compound of a local artist today. He makes the most beautiful wood furniture. He's 91 and there is a 5 year waiting list for his chairs. Check out his website here. You can also see more of his compound on my leftovers page.

There’s a lot of work being done today that doesn’t have any soul in it. The technique may be the utmost perfection, yet it is lifeless. It doesn’t have a soul. I hope my furniture has a soul to it.
