THIS IS WHAT DESIGN REALLY LOOKS LIKE…

Fast Company recently posted the video of a beautiful chair being lovingly crafted by Bernhardt Design… their sexy Corvo chair which will debut in Milan during the Saloni dei Mobile…

It took 15 different carving tools, hours of shaping, sanding, and sealing. As a result, each chair is slightly different.
