About Lorenzo Di Bari

My name is Lorenzo Di Bari.  I was born & raised in Saulgau, Germany.  I started with 15 years vocational training as a Cabinet Maker, which was a tradition because my father was in the wood business, so the son has to go the same way.  A this time I was not sure what I could reach with all this knowledge. 

Right after my vocational training, I started traveling around the world and had some opportunities to show my skill in wood working & building furniture to the public, which have won awards.  I was also involved in exhibitions, scenery and museums, which inspired me in the creative side of my life.  This made me very proud and developed my relation to the wood.  At 33, I decided to go back to school again and complete two years training to become a Master Cabinet Maker.

In all those years and still today, I try the many qualities of wood to be fair, so the aesthetic and practical ideas combine.

In his own words...

"To create and to build was always one of my passions;

nothing is impossible, as far as my imagination allows

me to do so.  And yet I try to be careful with my choices in

respect of Mother Nature." Lorenzo Di Bari
