The Pose bench results from the collaboration between Amsterdam-based designer, Aldo Bakker, and woodcraft-master, Rutger Graas. Pose is handmade out of European oak wood in the workshop of master-woodcrafter, Rutger Graas. Rutger, a close collaborator of Baker's is responsible for almost all the wooden furniture of Aldo. He works as an independent craftsman in a studio north of Amsterdam. ‘Ever since I started collaborating with Aldo I have been challenged to push the limit of my work. Aldo’s commitment to his vision of objects’ design, life, and matter has been most inspiring to me and to why I am working as an independent craftsman. My point of views in regards to details or overall balance and aesthetic only comes into place when looking for solutions to Aldo’s design ideas, which can be sometimes challenging.’ – Rutger Graas
