Per Helldorff

All of my working life I have dedicated to handicraft, wooded. My inspiration has come from the old utility handicraft and my determined commitment that real handicraft knowledge has it sovereign value. The latest 9 years I have been working with something I call "sensual mechanics", a kind of further development of the textile tool "knäpphärveln". Cog wheel, levers, cranks, etc., all my products move. Christofer Polhem , Leornardo da Vinci, The Old Man Pettson are right now my idols.
