The Little Richard - A Journey from Idea to Reality My journey into furniture making began with a simple idea: creating a stool that was both functional and a piece of art. The result of this inspiration is the Little Richard, a unique stool crafted from rich walnut wood and accented with elegant brass dowel inclusions. This piece is not just furniture; it's a symbol of my passion and dedication to the craft. The Little Richard started as a small project, a way to bring a touch of beauty and functionality into my home. As I worked on it, I realized how much joy and fulfillment I derived from the process of designing and crafting something with my own hands. This stool became more than just a piece of furniture—it was a turning point in my life. Creating the Little Richard awakened a deep-seated desire in me to pursue furniture making and design full-time. Each step, from selecting the perfect walnut slab to meticulously inlaying the brass dowels, confirmed that this is my true calling. The satisfaction of transforming raw materials into something beautiful and useful is unparalleled.
