Furniture Factory by Lucas Maassen & Sons

Furniture Factory is a pine wood furniture collection by Dutch designer Lucas Maassen and his three sons. Maassen employs his sons to paint each piece of handmade furniture. As per their contact, they each get paid 1 Euro for every piece they complete. They are limited to three hours of work per week, which is all that is allowed under Dutch laws. In order to meet the production time frames, they must paint rapidly which results in the look of each one-of-a-kind piece.
