The closer we get to a world that’s filled with AI-generated everything, the more intrigued we are by the design traditions of the Old World: hand-hewn carpentry, hand-woven textiles, hand-thrown pottery, hand-forged metalwork. (As long as there’s a hand involved, we’re all in.) Lately, the handicra

Danish architects Mathias Mentze and Alexander Ottenstein of Mentze Ottenstein maintain a practice rooted in research with a special sentimentality toward historic architecture.

Architectural columns ornamented with fluting—those vertical channels that create an elegant interplay of light and shadow—have been around since Egyptian times. Fluting next made its way inside as high-style detailing on paneling and furniture: picture the tapered legs on a Louis XVI table. But it

But Henry Holland‘s lockdown obsession, a Japanese pottery technique called Nerikomi, made him fall in love with the meditative process of stacking, folding, and rolling colored clay into slabs, then hand-molding them into functional forms.
