Overview
\"We spend a lot of time in factories,\" says Barber. \"It's the first place we go when we get a new commission, and we often see things that are more beautiful in their unfinished state than in the completed product.\" \"We've been fascinated by how things are made since playschool,\" says Osgerby, who grew up opposite a hat factory, where he would spend happy hours rifling through the bins to find scraps of leather and felt. Barber's dad was a DIY enthusiast, so there was rarely a weekend when he wasn't helping out, hammer or saw in hand. \"We're trying to get people excited about the making process again,\" adds Osgerby. \"Some of these things have a real abstract beauty, and some of the techniques are not at all what you'd imagine.\"
