DAIKU (Japanese for Carpenter) was an idea created by Alex and myself to meet the demands of all our wonderful workshop past participants requesting a challenge. The idea struck when both Alex and I had our travels to Japan and admired the furniture that married simple lines and great function with adaptability. Over a year in the making and now available to DIY!
