Furniture

Our original plan was to buy whatever we need furniture-wise at Camphill. This carpentry started as a project to train and employ physically handicapped people. The designs are still as nice as they used to be years ago, but after buying our bed we discovered the workmanship has decreased tremendously.
So we checked out the carpentry brigade. Like so many other brigades (a 'learn while working' type of vocational training) there's not much going on anymore.
We decided to look at the big range of Fongkong furniture after all - and saw that would be our one-way ticket to disaster. After only one of Maud's cleaning-sprees this cardboard stuff will fall apart.
Now we have to be true to our reputation as Dutch people and make everything ourselves. We proudly present our first: a combination of couches & guest-beds, with handy drawers underneath. Almost finished, because the finishing touch will be 11 more Indian-style embroidered cushion-covers, and the production of a blue variation.
As Bram says it looks like yacht-furniture, which again is very Dutch, and practical in this small house. The only setback is that we keep explaining to people this is not what we do for a living, design & produce furniture & textiles.
