MANUFACTUM, book about Belgian craftsmanship - made by hand
I feel very honored to let you know that Lefèvre Interiors is one of the 20 companies, featured in the brand new Belgian publication ?MANUFACTUM?, a book about craftsmanship in Belgium. The author Dirk De Moor and the photographer Philippe Debeerst depicted and wrote about the twenty surprising stories of craftsmen and women behind 20 Belgian companies who still work according to traditional methods, having a passion for their trade. About what drove them to practice a certain craft, and the skills needed, about the trade itself. But also about their materials or tools, and the years gaining knowledge and experience. They learnt that artisan crafts definitely have a place in the economy and society. With the artists' continued passion as the driving force. And they won't stop until they have reached perfection. No compromises. 20 Belgian craftsmen and women, each with their own unique specialty, made by hand.
