With hammer and nail

Building wooden furniture inspired by Enzo Mari There's something very satisfying about sitting at a dining table you've built yourself. Erik Eje Almqvist shows how to build furniture yourself. Because you don't have to buy expensive tools or deal with special joining methods to do it. All the designs are based on the principles of Italian designer Enzo Mari (1932-2020), an icon of the do-it-yourself movement. The 18 projects and methods described are so simple that truly anyone can satisfactorily recreate them with basic lumber, a hammer, and nails. The descriptions range from stools and chairs to tables and benches to lamps and cabinets.
