Pere Renom

“We gave you no fixed place, no form of your own, nor any assigned task, O Adam, so that by your own choice you might possess the place, the image, and the role you desire; neither heavenly nor earthly, neither mortal nor immortal did we make you, but free to shape yourself in the form you prefer, as your own maker and sculptor.”

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

Masters of wood

published on 16.02.2016

The reporter Pere Renom knows a guitar maker and attends an authentication of a guitar theoretically built in 1867 in Sevilla by a man named Antonio de Torres, the equivalent of Stradivarius in violins. Renom also participates in the construction of a wooden house, greener and quicker to make than conventional homes. And he visits the only workshop of the world where wood is used to make a genuinely Catalan boat: beach catamaran. In addition, it is explained the art of drying wood, and the saw a tool more similar to an abrasive file than to a knife.
Speakers Joan Pellisa guitar maker, Isidre Tebar and Richard Balboa from House Habitat and Rafel Figuerola from Club Beach Catamaran Barcelona.
