Chris Williams’ book “Good Work: The Chairmaking Life of John Brown” has attracted attention outside of chairmaking and woodworking circles.
What other craft would be interested in Welsh chairs? Try the workwear industry.
Recently TOAST sent a crew to Williams’ shop in Wales to interview him about his chairmaking and Welsh chairs in general. They produced a lovely little feature on Williams that you can read (for free) here.
And then last week, Paynter featured Williams’ book in their online newsletter as one of the books they’re reading. See the image above.
Both of these workwear companies are influential in the workwear market. Heck, I even own a couple Paynter garments (a jacket and a wool vest/waistcoat – good stuff).
Congrats to Williams for finally being recognized as the fashion icon that he is.
