Fernando Mastrangelo Puts His Own Hands Back on the Work

Fernando Mastrangelo has made his studio smaller on purpose. He used to run a team of twenty, and he has slimmed that down so he can be the one shaping the pieces again. For a reader who cares how a house is furnished, that matters. An object made by its designer, start to finish, carries his hand in a way that work passed through a larger shop does not. It is a vote for craft over scale, and the rooms that eventually hold his work will be the better for it.
