It’s week 38 / 2026

This week, we welcome BassamFellows to AGOBAY with three defining designs: the Spoke dining table, Circular coffee table and Spindle chair. Combining Modernism with natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, each piece reflects the American design house’s close attention to proportion, construction and material. We then turn to a very different expression of making by hand. In our magazine, we visit British-born green-wood carver Samuel Alexander at his open-air workshop in rural Czechia, where he shapes freshly felled timber using only an axe, hook knife and carving knife. Guided by the grain and working entirely by hand, Samuel approaches carving as an intuitive, meditative process, allowing each form to emerge through patient, deliberate strokes.
