The first in a series of exhibitions devoted to modern, local Russian wood craftsmanship — WOOD WORKS — will bring together workshops, designers and artisans at the Moscow design cluster ARTPLAY on April 1-3, 2016. The central themes of WOOD WORKS are wood, functionality, design, sustainability, uniqueness and local production. The fair will also feature cultural, educational and musical programs, as well as a craft market and a cafe.
Stylish homeowners no longer want to buy mass-produced furniture — they prefer to own unique pieces. WOOD WORKS provides an exclusive chance to see, touch and evaluate the work of dozens of local artisans. Carpenter workshops, many of them founded only a few years ago, will present their furniture and home furnishings made of wood. Most of the pieces presented at WOOD WORKS are one-of-a-kind or part of a limited series. These workshops do not chase after the big furniture brands — they succeed by creating their own unique brands.
