Furniture designer Maximilian Eicke grew up around art and antiques, instilling in him the desire to create something original.

In this episode of Clever furniture designer Maximilian Eicke grew up being schlepped around the world to galleries and and antiques shops by his art dealer father. All that input served to make him feel at home anywhere in the world and yet, in a quasi-rebellious sort of way, instilled in him the desire to create something original. His childhood was both blessed by love and privilege and cursed by bullying and attempts to invalidate his creativity?a recipe for gratitude, perspective, and turbo drive to disprove the naysayers.
