We are very pleased to congratulate Laurenz Haltmair, Tiffanie Vogelhuber, Maxi Schaumburg, and Marlies Ertl on their successful completion! Outstanding craft projects are the result of a harmonious and well-coordinated team – and these four have demonstrated just how important teamwork and solidarity are in the craft.

The wine cabinet „Tesoro del Vino“ by Laurenz Haltmair combines modern design with functionality, offering optimal storage and presentation of wines. The cabinet is composed of two cuboid structures with a body made from panel material and steamed ash. Two overlapping doors with steel handle strips allow for easy opening and closing. Inside, there are two middle shelves, four compartments, and drawers, along with special holders for wine glasses and racks that can accommodate up to 18 bottles. An integrated LED lighting system, performance oil for surface protection, and handcrafted elements emphasize the quality and attention to detail of this piece of furniture.

The ash wood kitchen furniture piece „Toplamo“ is timelessly designed and serves as a storage solution for spices and tea. The name is derived from the French phrase „Ton petit placard moderne,“ which means „your little modern cabinet.“ Inside, there are angled compartments for spices and a tall storage space for larger items. The doors offer additional storage space, while a hand-dovetailed drawer provides room for accessories and various tea varieties. Black brass handles and fittings create an elegant contrast. The ash wood symbolizes durability and a vibrant grain.

The desk „Player“ by Maximilian Schaumburg is a functional piece of furniture designed for both studying and gaming. It is mounted on the wall on the left side, eliminating the need for table legs. The desk features a grey work surface and a body made from American walnut. Key features include a special compartment for a laptop with a movable cover and a suitcase door that makes the opening of the desk appear larger. Beneath the work surface, there is an installation level for cable management. The work surface is made of durable Fenix laminate, while the body, with its walnut veneer and lacquer finish, showcases a vibrant grain.

The valet tray „Yugen“ by Marlies Ertl is a classic small piece of furniture in the „Dark Academia“ style, designed to create space for keys and other items in the entryway. The term „Yugen“ is of Japanese origin and means „The most beautiful because I know what lies beneath,“ reflecting the hidden beauty and depth of the design. Crafted from American walnut and ash, this piece impresses with its compact size and elegant form. The oiled surface enhances the natural grain of the wood, providing a soft tactile experience. Noteworthy features include a door handle that also functions as a key, and a hand-burned motif that adds a personal touch to the piece. The double shelf and curved legs add extra functionality and lend the design a unique aesthetic.

We are proud to present the journeyman pieces of our talented young craftsmen. These impressive works, created by Laurenz Haltmair, Tiffanie Vogelhuber, Maxi Schaumburg, and Marlies Ertl, represent craftsmanship excellence, creativity, and dedication. Each of these young craftsmen has not only demonstrated their skills with their journeyman pieces but also expressed their passion for the craft.
