Presents
There weren't any computers.
You had to take a liking to a machine and not feel intimidated by it
because then you could easily destroy it or do something careless.
This was my great grandfather's drill.
It is quite advanced.
My father used more high-end equipment.
Two rotational speeds, it took some work to use it.
There weren't any soft close cabinets then.
Thirteen years ago, the soft close drawers were top-shelf products.
The times are changing.
You need to replace the machinery, have your eyes wide open,
watch the market trends or you will lag behind.
I would feel stupid
if a client asked me about something I don't yet have.
Clients know exactly what we can do for them.
Clients have become more aware in the area of product purchase.
They know what they want.
I try to approach them individually to make them happy.
There are different ways to do it.
CARPENTERS TALK ABOUT...
FUNCTION
My name is Iza Bucka.
I have worked as interior and furniture designer for 20 years now.
I am also a carpenter.
I run a family company and continue the family tradition.
Before I start designing I take some time to talk to a client
and learn their needs.
I take their preferences into account
and try to make the project whole.
For me these are the two equally important things
that make a good project.
First, we take care of the visual aspect
We want the project to be breathtaking.
This may convince a client to buy it.
After developing the visual project
we look for furniture that best fits the interior
so that the kitchen is nice-looking but also ergonomic.
Maybe we should convince a client with practicality
just ask him to take something out from a cabinet
and when he opens a drawer and has access to everything
he stops thinking about the looks
and focuses on the practical aspects of using the kitchen.
ERGONOMICS
My name is Gosia Błaszczak
and together with my husband Piotr we run Vigo Meble company.
We have four showrooms
and a carpentry shop, in which our designs come to life.
Once, the kitchen was in fact a place where food was prepared.
That was the main focus of our clients.
Now, most houses are based on an open floor plan.
However, we still need to hold to certain standards.
We have to talk to our clients so that the crucial kitchen zones
are well-designed.
Such zones are the ones by the hob and the the sink
and the storage unit.
There is a number of basic kitchen elements that must be easy to use,
ergonomic and based on durable systems with a longer warranty period.
A technological process taking place in the kitchen
should be based on a triangle.
The more equal the triangle sides,
meaning the number of steps taken during the production process,
including cooking, the better the functionality.
Kitchen test drive - a great solution.
Clients love it.
Once they try it they say this is awesome.
You can call it "cabinets on wheels".
I show clients a 3D kitchen using a computer.
They can do the same standing in front of the kitchen,
moving the cabinets around
and change the location of appliances to their liking.
It is helpful especially for those
having some trouble with spatial imagination.
For them the test drive is a must.
Sometimes a client tells us that the trip to Blum to have a test drive
helped him finally understand the layout.
It also helps us because the client learns what he wants
and we have a whole project worked out.
In the past the supplies were stored in additional rooms.
Now we make the kitchen bigger to find extra room for such supplies
and this is where the pantry-cabinet really works,
bacause it is spacious and offers everything at a hand's reach.
Space Tower is a dry refrigerator for products
that should stay out of the fridge.
When placed side by side they solve many problems.
We have our supplies at hand and we unpack our groceries faster.
Most clients decide in favor of the solution and are happy with it.
Time is of great significance nowadays
and time is saved when everything has its place and is easily accessible.
We need to explain it to our clients,
which is why there are several kitchen projects presented here.
We work with a client, ask him to come here - to our showroom.
To show him the difference: cheaper, more expensive guide
You need to know how to help a client.
The kitchen is as good as the materials used to make it.
There are elements, which are durable and of little significance
but there are such moveable parts as lifting mechanisms,
MOTION hinges, drawers, guides that wear out
and the quality determines their lifespan.
So, that's about it.
Soft closing guides and hinges are widely used.
We virtually stopped using other solutions.
My name is Paweł Cwalina, I run a carpentry shop.
The company's name is Wesoły Kornik.
We make all kinds of custom furniture
which sometimes requires using certain tricks, which I personally love.
It is a sign of the times.
Developers may still build objects of the same size,
but the apartments are smaller and smaller
and people want the kitchen, apart from being convenient and nice,
to be technologically advanced.
A trash can drawer is used more often than the front door.
Hence the popularity of the Servo-Drive system,
which is applied in many kitchens.
This is what people want, they want everything simpler, faster.
Electrical solutions are very convenient.
When we ask a client if he wants Servo-Drive Uno,
which costs this and that, he often decides not to buy it,
but when he buys the system in package
then he often realizes afterwards that he "has something like that".
We do not ask a client if he wants electric drawers,
for us they are standard.
My husband eats a lot.
My husband eats a lot and I have to cook all the time
because once I cook something he eats it and I have to cook again.
This has its good sides
because I have great practical advice for our clients
what to avoid, where to place the countertop, a drawer, trash cans.
If we cook ourselves, our contact with a client is easier.
The Aventos HF lift applied by Blum is great.
It gives kitchen users the possibility to open all cabinet doors
using one button or with two, three movements.
We do not walk around opening every cabinet
and the cabinets do not interfere with our work in the kitchen.
Then we close everything and once again enjoy our beautiful kitchen
without wasting time on opening and closing cabinets
or on searching for products because once everything is open
we may easily locate the product we are looking for.
These are the things that once installed, stay in the furniture forever.
So, I think that a functional and well-designed kitchen
is money well spent
because it saves us time usually spent on housework.
TIME
The downside of self-employment is that you spend 24 hours a day,
7 days a week at work.
Why did I decide to be self-employed?
I wanted my life to be fulfilling.
I think working for someone would not let me enjoy it.
Of course, there are better times and worse times.
There are times when I can have my 1 o'clock coffee
without anyone standing above me and telling me to work.
But there are also days when I drink my coffee at 9 p.m.
because I have work planned until 2 a.m.
I am Marcin Barczewski, the owner of Fachu Meble.
I am a wood technology technician by education.
Is my job stressful?
Yes.
Unfortunately yes and currently I usually fight a battle with time.
We always work against the clock, we always have too little time.
At first my wife was fine with the fact
that I spend most of my time at work
but when my son was born
I noticed that I am missing out on his childhood
and on many occasions I had to choose between
his performance and work and many times I wasn't there.
Today everyone wants to have everything right away
and gives us deadlines impossible to meet.
Companies do not have much choice,
accept the deadline and try to meet it.
My name is Tomasz Włodzik, I am the owner of Forma Meble company.
How did I become a carpenter?
My grandfather would carve a piece of wood and ask me to sit on it
to stop it from moving.
He carved and carved using a hand carver and I sat on the board
and must have fallen in love with carpentry through my behind.
Unfortunately my grandfather passed away but I kept his tools.
He wanted me to have the tools
because he knew I would not destroy or discard them.
In the past the tools were difficult to get.
When he found a broken file, my grandfather would keep it,
he would make handles for every blade, knife or needle he found.
In the past the furniture was hand-made so it took a lot of work.
My friend once told me that
when his father worked in a carpentry shop during the war
and a client ordered one set for a bedroom
there were three men who worked on it for a month
and they had to split the money for the month between themselves.
Today when a client orders furniture for a bedroom
we need to do it in one day.
OPTIMIZATION
What definitely changed are the technologies used.
They have become more advanced and made our job easier.
My father's museum displays
the tools of my great-great-grandfather Florian, a carpenter
and when you compare his screw-driver with mine
you can easily answer the "what changed?" question.
The market develops really fast and we try to keep up with it
by introducing to our offer Blum Legrabox drawers,
a professional product used in 50% of our kitchens.
We also adapted tools to make such drawers.
For example, a milling machine, which we bought to mill the bottoms
and which makes our work easier.
We now see the difference in time used on the same activity
before purchasing the machine.
Most of all, the product quality is much different now.
The machine helps us achieve great precision
when building a drawer, a cabinet, anything.
I have this saying: "work well-organized is work well-paid".
Why would we do something two times longer
if we can do it two times faster.
I tell my boys to "clean the shop" but a clean shop is a clean head.
We definitely go for all-purpose solutions
because they make production easier.
It is easier to have one, multi-purpose guide
than use numerous different guides.
These days a carpenter must follow the technological development
whether we say about machining centers or furniture design programs,
a modern press or an edge bander.
For the company to develop, even if it is tradition-based
and even if it works based on tradition, using simple machines
it must follow the technological development.
This is the future.
Dynalog is used mainly for furniture production.
It changes forms into cross sections.
When we introduce a kitchen to dynalog,
the program selects a set of accessories
and furniture parts for a particular kitchen
and generates all technical drawings
showing how to assemble the kitchen
as well as all kitchen elements and drilling holes.
It makes things much simpler for a person who places an order
or releases goods from the warehouse.
Technology and furniture are closely connected
and it does not apply only to design, which also changes
but there are certainly at least a few technological changes a year.
How did we meet?
I had a car accident
and my doctor recommended that I swim regularly.
When we met my wife was in her swimsuit.
You probably already know about the meeting at a swimming pool.
To cut the story short, I could not leave her alone.
That is how we met.
They say that a good wife leaves after 7 years
but I wouldn't want my wife to leave, we are great together.
We share everything.
We live together - we share hobbies.
I don't know any marriage that would spend so much time together.
Usually people are surprised it's even possible,
I often hear "If I worked with my wife it would not end well".
We must certainly like each other to spend all this time together.
We share all happy and difficult moments we face as a company.
For me this is very important.
SUPPORT
Sometimes life throws different challenges at us
in such moments the Easy Assembly app is a great technical help.
You just need to activate the lift, specify a cabinet's height
and it will adjust itself, the app shows all holes, heights.
If you don't have the book or the application
you can always call a technical consultant
who even on his way to Hannover will stop the car
and answer all the questions.
"You know what, I am driving now, I am on holiday,
but I will tell you everything you need"
and he really tells us everything, so the consultant is great.
I value my employees.
I am very proud of their work.
As I said, for me they are the carpentry elite
and I think that they like a challenge.
I have a good and strong team that gives me great support.
Work of a carpenter is wonderful
but young people must learn and must want to learn
improve their skills, constantly develop, attend trainings,
I learn something everyday.
Trainings are important to become better, expand your knowledge
to keep up with the market and current trends.
MARKETING
We usually meet premium clients
when I work with them as interior designer.
Clients contact me after seeing my work
and once they learn that I have my own carpentry shop
which means that I will bring our design to life,
they treat it as the added value.
A client is attracted by the display and the lighting.
Whereas publications, good website, videos
show a client the kind of furniture we make.
This would be virtually impossible without good advertising.
We receive marketing support
including car-wrap advertising
or placing special signs on drawers, furniture or countertops.
My father is Mister Kornik [English: borer] and I am Mister Kornik.
We hear "Good morning Mister Kornik" at the stores.
The name is old, my father used it
before I even started working on my own.
He wanted it to be something original,
a name that would attract attention and make people smile.
To this day, after 15 years the clients come back to us
and say "I couldn't find you, but I remembered it was borer something"
and they search through the Internet and find us.
We are very trustworthy.
We rely on good old grapevine and not on Facebook
but it works, we have many clients and a lot of work.
HERITAGE
It is a family history.
My grandfather was 12 years old
he took his shoes and went looking for a job.
He finished his travel in Vienna
where he was hired as an apprentice by some carpenter.
The carpentry shop was built by my grandmother Stefania in 1922.
I graduated from the faculty of Industrial Design
at the Academy of Fine Arts
making a piece of furniture as my diploma project.
I tried to bring my designs to life at different carpentry shops
but the carpenters were usually unreliable
or said the designs weren't feasible.
I decided that this is pointless.
The designs were developed by me
so, I have to be the one to bring them to life.
About my daughter? What she does?
She makes furniture.
Is she good at it?
I think she is good.
They say you should be energetic to keep up with all this
and she has energy.
I talked my brother into reviving a carpentry shop,
which was run by my grandfather and father and was then closed.
I like the combination of stone and polished stainless steel,
natural veneer or solid wood,
when the beauty is in the quality and class of the materials used,
in simple forms.
DESIGN
Currently, the main market trend
is a designer kitchen
requiring the use of modern materials, such as quartz sinters.
This means that we must search through the market
for products to use with such fronts.
Fortunately, there are such solutions as thin hinges
which can be used with such fronts.
For me personally
interesting, creative, modern and also timeless materials
are what really catches the eye.
We got used to standard, silver hinges.
They started to be problematic in case of top-shelf kitchens
made for clients who pay attention to every detail.
It was problematic when we had to use bright hinges with dark fronts.
Now, the market offers dark hinges
thus making our work easier.
Listen, this is the real problem of our times.
Clients have too many things.
They start to collect things they don't really need.
I open a drawer and see 4 potato peelers
and then I ask a client if she uses all four peelers
and why there are four and not one.
Once or twice I organized my client's kitchen.
I asked them to change the location of plates
and the client says this is how she had it before
and I tell her "this is not how we do it".
Sometimes people just don't see something
and we need to show it to them.
Their clothes are not stored properly,
they should be folded or sorted differently.
A designer is like a mirror.
Organizers help keep the drawer contents in order.
Their name implies their function.
They also help keep the drawers quiet
because the items inside them are well-organized
and do not move around.
We mainly use Legrabox drawers
because they have these thin, beautiful panels
in white, anthracite, brown-black and inox steel colors.
I have a sense of mission, I feel that I need to educate my clients
smuggle beauty, harmony and this gives me great satisfaction.
I show my clients different combinations of materials, colors, proportions
that are beautiful and look nice.
I am lucky or unlucky, depending on how you look at it,
that my job is my hobby, my passion.
Maybe it's the question of balance and harmony
between work, passion and family life.
I think you find that as you grow older
and I have it now.
BALANCE
I moved here for the views.
Here we had our two children
but before my second child was born
we knew that we wanted to raise a child and work in a nice place
which is inspiring
but also helps us relax and escape from the hustle and bustle.
You know work is work and life is life.
If you took a walk around here, you would see the views
that are best described by the words of Mickiewicz
"I made for the open body of dry ocean's breed".
Wood has been in our lives for many years.
The best moment is when I hear "This is beautiful Mister Kornik".
The smell of plywood is different
when you work with wood in a carpentry shop,
the smell of wood is everywhere
and a real carpentry shop is the one smelling of wood.
I would once say that carpentry is my hobby
but today I sometimes need a break from it.
I have a different passion - motorcycles.
I ride all around Europe.
Today I am going to Warsaw,
tomorrow my daughter has her second birthday
so, I will have to come back from Warsaw to go to her birthday party.
Some things have changed
and today I know how to draw a line.
I try to take part in a family life when I am needed.
I like to take a day off when I want
and organize the work by myself.
Sometimes I don't feel like working so I take a break
to work better and with satisfaction when I feel like it.
I must admit that when I see the finished kitchen and a happy client
because it's his smile that is most important
I am happy myself.
This is a great feeling
because nothing gives as much reinforcement as working for people
as their happiness, satisfaction.
Sometimes in the very evening I get a text from a client instead of a call
saying that they have what they wanted, that this is great
and that moment is very rewarding.
The film was made under the patronage of BLUM POLSKA
starring
and
Thanks to carpenters' families and people involved in the production.
