Pierre Olivier - From the outset I had a fascination for boxes. I have never had an inclination to build chairs, tables or bookcases -just boxes.

The Woodworker Sessions #17 - Ten Questions with Tobias Lochner of Swellendam
Read nowI am constantly fascinated by the historical methods of furniture construction, the unsurpassed beautiful lines of pre-industrial furniture and the tools that were used.
I love designing, building and teaching. I believe that I am a good student of the craft and the more I learn, the more I realise just how little I know! For me, it is a constant process of challenging myself. I always use traditional joinery methods, proportioning methods and hand tools wherever I can.
