    General Information

    Floating bearing. Without magnet

    Common knife strips bind the blades to themselves by magnetic attraction. This knife bar made of pear, on the other hand - a particularly hard and high-quality wood with a surface that is both soft and yet very vividly grained - holds your knives in an evenly milled slot. They are held by the wider knife handle, which puts an end to the gravity-driven path towards the floor. A circumferential shadow gap at the back makes not only the knives but also the knife bar appear to float in front of the wall. Flush-mounted fittings also enable invisible suspension.

    This is his wooden path. Cabinetmaker Konrad Horsch

    A product that leaves Konrad Horsch's workshop is anything but just a piece of wood sawn into shape or turned - it's a piece of wood with a history. For every knife edge that passes through his hands, every rolling pin that he puts the finishing touches on, he can provide the biography: Where was the tree from which the workpiece is made, when was it felled and under what circumstances, which plants, animals or fungi have left traces in the wood, why and in what form? Instead of buying from the timber merchant, he therefore prefers to buy his raw material from where it grew - then, as they say in specialist circles, "negotiations are conducted standing on the trunk". Or he recycles old wood and puts it to a new use, often inspired by its original purpose.

    Working only with solid wood is a matter of course for the cabinetmaker from Iserlohn, in a manufactory and with minimal use of machinery. Every object that bears his name is made by him, regardless of whether it is a one-off piece such as large solitaire furniture, art objects for public spaces or products made in small series such as those in the Manufactum range. Even if they are not unique, they are made with the same attention to detail as one-of-a-kind pieces, something Horsch learned during his studies with the well-known cabinetmaker James Krenov in California. Last but not least, the character of the wood alone makes each piece unique. Knotholes, annual rings and grains are simply not uniform - and if they were, the wood would also lose its appeal for Horsch.
