Olav Haug (20 July 1916 – 3 November 1985) was a Norwegian furniture designer and master craftsman whose furniture designs demonstrated a deep understanding of woodwork and quality craftsmanship. His designs won him awards and production orders from numerous governmental and publics institutions, yet he remains a relatively unknown figure in the Norwegian mid century design landscape. == Early life == Born in Lismarka, Olav Haug the eldest of eight children, displayed from an early age the ability and interest for crafts and woodwork. At the age of 15 and clearly inspired by his uncles' interests in music and arts he made a violin and taught himself to play the instrument. When finalizing primary school he worked as a hired hand at a farm in Nordlien. There he was asked by the landlady if he could make a dining table with chairs. Haug began to work and created a table with six dining chairs by hand in birch wood with three insert plates for the table. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olav Haug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
