We’ve rounded up a plethora of furniture makers who have discovered their own final ingredient for a happy and productive workshop; a furry best friend! For these guys every day is Bring Your Pet To Work Day. Take a look at this loveable bunch, from the meek to the mischievous, and all of them absolutely adorable.
It would seem that many furniture makers share the same insatiable fascination with their furry little companions as the rest of us. Their Instagrams are teeming with canine pics; sleeping in the sun, bounding through the park, dressed like a human or posing in their workshop with sawdust in their noses. Handkrafted has hand picked the best and cutest from the Instagrams of local artisans to worldwide makers.
