The Future of Woodworking: Gunther Pfeffer Pfeffer works in Bavaria in a shop built by his grandfather, who was a window and door maker. Gunther Pfeffer builds pieces that straddle the line between furniture and sculpture. “I first developed my craft and then became fascinated by design,” he says. “Now I live in both worlds, but the focus is clearly on art and design. My creations develop through poetry, reduction, precision, and rhythm.”
