We had the chance to encounter Cosme Ferreira, the head of the
joinery, who was analysing a new sketch. With now thirteen
people in his team, the artisan recollects the time, about twelve
years ago, where there was only three of them, “I practically
started this group,” he reminisces. “I enjoyed producing much
more than commanding, but I still do produce,” he confesses
while remembering the piece that gave him the most satisfaction
in creating, the Diamond Sideboard. What the artisan likes the
most is “to get here and have more two or three designs like this
one. This is what motivates, to have work, I feel delighted to live
in the midst of people who grow and grow more each time. It
leaves me completely rewarded, really indeed. Fulfilled I am al-
most; however, there is always that one piece that makes me say,
“This is the one that I hadn’t done yet! It makes me feel happy”.
