Decor Your Living Space With Handmade Showpieces

The fundamental value of crafts lies in their opposition to mass-production methods. We need the latter to produce items cheaply and quickly, but unless we want to become people who know the price of everything but the value of nothing, we also need the aesthetic benefits which come from individually designed items - such as a hand-made scarf, a beautiful chair, carpet or dish.

A society without beauty is soulless, as George Orwell has vividly described in works like "1984". Promoting crafts is one way to retain the type of artistic skills needed to make life more visually pleasing.

A showpiece is the most attractive or best thing to be shown. The showpiece is the excellent or outstanding example of traditions and cultures. Some people are born with a great eye for decorating or design. Others learn the skill and can apply it successfully.

Home accessories, as movable decorations or different showpieces, reflect the owner's taste and create a personal atmosphere where they are placed. These items can break the boundaries of traditional decoration industry, using handicrafts, textiles, collectibles, and things such as lamps, floral items, and plants re-combined to form a new concept of harmony.

Showpieces vary according to size and shape of room space, the owner's living habits, hobbies, tastes, and their economic situation.
