Summary:

"Inspired by radical Italian designer Enzo Mari, this book is a tribute to his simple ideas that challenged the consumerism of the furniture industry. Erik Eje Almqvist unpacks the practical aspects of the Autoprogettazione? theory, offering simple designs for handbuilt, beautiful furniture. Using just a hammer, nails and boards plus easy-to-follow instructions with diagrams, Hammer & Nail explores only a few techniques but arms the reader with skills and inspiration for life"--Publisher's description.
