- catalog abstract ""The emblem of custom quality, Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers has set the standard for fine wood furniture for thirty years. This celebration of Thomas Moser's life and work outlines the history of his distinguished workshop; gathers his reflections on craft, materials, design, and creativity; and features hundreds of photographs and shop drawings that lovingly detail the furniture itself." "Formally simple yet sophisticated, Moser furniture defers to and highlights the natural beauty of wood. With unembellished, graceful lines and echoes of numerous antique traditions - including Shaker, Arts & Crafts, Mission, Japanese, Pennsylvania Dutch, and more - the Moser style harmonizes with these forms while maintaining a character all its own. Meticulously crafted and hand-finished, the care and expertise that goes into this furniture is apparent in every detail." "Thomas Moser and Brad Lemley lead this tour through the workshop, telling the history of the company from its humble origins to its current international acclaim. Also explored are the evolution of Moser design and the details that make it unique, such as how traditional joinery is the primary ornamentation and how a Moser chair has almost no flat surfaces or simple angles. Throughout, the Moser ethic and aesthetic can be summed up in a favorite Shaker dictum of the shop: "Build an object as though it were to last a thousand years and as if one were to die tomorrow.""--Jacket.".
