Cabinetmaking
Both Kari Virtanen and Rudi Merz are acclaimed cabinetmakers. To them, being a professional means the application of tradition to contemporary needs. Their strong woodworking competence is the result of studying traditional furniture, and over the years they have garnered a vast tacit knowledge of raw materials. Yet their design approach is contemporary, including the skill to select the best method, whether it means traditional handicraft or state-of-the-art technology.
