Why do we need creatives?

Because they have ideas. Because they are different. Because they love what they do and do what they feel. Because they go beyond the artistic and come up with practical solutions. They create with imagination and make us happy when we discover them. They produce emotions because each piece tells a story. They work hard to convey the story, the emotion, the mood. They pay attention to detail and strive to be their best. They are original, they want attention, they like to surprise, they love to stand out. They get involved because they feel and understand the need for progress and change. They innovate and get us moving.

My selection of concrete examples is based on both the aesthetic and practical element of each product. Interesting is the lamellar panel furniture produced by Furniture line. For the table they used triple-laminated poplar plywood finished with clear lacquer. The chairs, made using modern laser-cut technology, stand out with irregular curved lines as if they have taken on the shape of those who sat on them.

Wooden glasses you're spoilt for choice, but if you like these you can find out more about them here.

They're handcrafted from walnut, cherry and oak, with birch inserts used to make them stronger and more flexible. They are fine, delicate yet robust.

Inspired by times gone by, the creators Lunet Eyewear made a monocle in two versions - oak and walnut. More as a symbol of elegance and for its suitability for original use than for its original purpose. Those who like simple and refined accessories will certainly appreciate it and know how to make the most of it.

With wood from our resinous forests you can create unique products without even wanting to. That's how the wooden-bound notebooks produced by Maria Buracu. For the simplest of the designs, she chose fir wood and three finishes: natural, olive green and brown.

The following accessories are 100% made in Romania and combine fashion with wood in a distinguished and exclusive way. This brand proposes a natural version of the classic bow ties using wood as an alternative material. On their website characterful designs made from various hardwood species.

Each of these products makes a valuable use of wood, whether it is a reinterpretation of basic products or an aesthetic where wood has been used as an alternative material. For all these products, the passion and attention to detail doesn't stop at the creation. This is another reason why they were among my favorites.

My appreciation to everyone for both the creations and the way of presentation chosen by everyone.
