This week’s film for Friday features Scottish craft company Method Furniture as they create the Journeyman: a steamer trunk for a jeanmaker.

Established in 2009 by cabinetmaker Callum Robinson and architect Marisa Giannasi, Method Furniture aim to produce stylish and sustainable contemporary furniture, which is individually hand crafted by a skilled maker. 

Method worked in collusion with Amsterdam based fashion label Denham, making a trunk specifically designed for the Journeyman Jeanmaker. Drawing inspiration from birch bark canoes and bi-plane wing construction, this modern interpretation of the classic steamer trunk has a solid ash frame, meticulously interlocked by over 200 traditional joints and skinned with 1.5mm thick birch and hand-stitched leather. Over 300 hours of craft work went into the making of the Journeyman.

Watch a short documentary of Method making the Journeyman in their studio workshop on the East coast of Scotland.
