The workshop is the set. We do not carry a chair into a white room to make it look finished.
The room is above the benches on Strada Decebal. The people who call are the joiners and the shops that buy from them. A job that wants a lifestyle kitchen is declined at the door.
Apprentices stay in the frame when their hands made the piece. The master does not pose with someone else's stool. The list on the bench is the edit: what does not fit in the van does not get a picture.
