The Story of My Life Desk

"I want to create a piece that reflects my personality, hoping that others would see it and understand who I am." – Erik Pettersson.

This quote initiated this project, a desk masterpiece I designed and crafted with cabinet maker Erik Pettersson. The "Gesäll" (journeyman's work in Swedish) was part of our graduation requirements from Carl Malmsten Furniture Studies in Stockholm, Sweden.
