Episode 58 – Furniture Making with Nathan Lawrence

Have you ever wondered how furniture is made? How is it possible to bend wood? Perhaps you’ve considered going into a new career but you wish you could do it without years of training and studies?

Meet 27 year old furniture maker Nathan Lawrence. Nathan is a self-taught maker and designer at his own company called Heimur. After growing up with a knack for creating and a curiosity for how things fit together, Nathan found himself in a job building tables, shelves and more but without following the traditional pathway to get there.

Years later he’s running his own company, he gets to be his own boss, and lives the lifestyle he is passionate about, all while promoting quality furniture hand made to last a lifetime.
