What Makes a Piece of Furniture Beautiful?
According to Matt Kenney, it’s the color of the wood, its grain, the joinery, and a thousand other little details that influence the design. A central element of his considerations is always the proportions: those of width, height, and depth to each other, those from the body to the lid, from the handle to the lid, those of the feet to the body, etc. The boxes in this book are not all fundamentally different objects. Kenney is driven by considerations such as: What if I use a different wood for a model I have already built? How would different dimensions or a different lid solution affect the outcome?
Week by week, over an entire year, 52 boxes were created – and a beautiful book that sets out to provide an introduction to the design of wooden objects.
Matt Kenney is an editor at the American woodworking magazine Fine Woodworking. After studying philosophy, he began working as a furniture maker.
