A New Hampshire craftsman and professor, Daniel Loomis Valenza is well known for his exceptional modern wood designs with a Scandinavian inspiration. These pieces were all done in El Salvador by a Master wood carver in the 1970s according to his designs. Just 10 pieces were made of each of the chosen prototypes from twenty articles that had been designed and submitted.
