Framing a Design Bank

So, what is a design bank?

How do we deposit and more importantly, how do we withdraw?

Any thoughts on this process?

'As the weathered and worn wood is shaped, the beauty and character from the variation in color, material arrangement, and signs of wear are exposed to produce a highly precise yet imperfect design,' Nicolai writes. 'While the overall form is consistent each piece is individual.'"
