The client: A professional couple with a toddler, highly educated in the sciences (the parents not the toddler).
The project: A custom made dining table, chairs and credenza.
The result: We sourced pieces from several suppliers, they chose two.
They would have travelled 300 to 500 kilometres on their own.
Each trip, with an inquisitive toddler in toe, would have allowed one retailer a day.
Easily between $250.00 and $420.00 with gas, lunch and parking.
They travelled maybe 50 kilometers to make final choices and the munchkin stayed with grandparents who were thrilled to babysit and ambivalent about new furniture.
The pieces were locally made and delivered with little packaging.
We didn’t save the world, but we helped.
