Magic people
October 2nd, 2009
In occasion we run into incredibly talented people, and in our last rip to Buenos Aires we met Manuel Figueroa, an old-school metal smith that is working on a chair project with us. It s a pleasure to observe and enjoy someone that controls his craft like he does, there is romance everywhere, the order in the shop, his antic tools the way he speaks and how the metal takes shape in front of our eyes as he works his magic.
