First, we went to Zermatt to meet Abusizz, five young men from Valais with a pile of scrap wood steeped in history and the mission to transform it into designer furniture.
It all started when the two carpenters/designers Michi and Lukas had the opportunity to design game chests for the Matterhorn Base Camp. They were inspired by the special atmosphere in the hut on evenings before a demanding expedition to the Matterhorn, when there is nothing more to do than sit together comfortably and simply enjoy each other’s company. Abusizz is the old Valais expression for mellow moments such as these, and they wanted to bring it back to today’s busy lifestyles.
