Cool Stuff: Architectmade Birds

Why do BIRDs suddenly appear?... Carpenters once sang, but at ARCHITECTMADE the BIRD only appears after a long and careful process carried out by the best Danish craftsmen.

In a small village in Denmark inside a serene and traditional workshop, one piece of oak gets reborn as an expressive and graceful object. The wood turner carefully takes the wood through every stage of the production: a machine slowly gears up, and a piece of wood is transformed step by step.

The BIRD gets his final look at its maker with its walnut-eyes, before the wood turner gently places its head against a belt of sand paper and the BIRD brought closer to perfection. While the floor is covered with delicate wood chips from the machine, each BIRD lands in the hand of the craftsman, who skillfully adds the finishing touches.

Born with the spirit of sensitivity and freedom, the BIRD is sure to bring you joy and peaceful moments to your everyday life.

....they long to be close to you.
