mcm or nihilism?  

Hello,

I have a (esthetic-moral) dilemma. I'm thinking of making some pieces of furniture. Thusfar we realised a table, square almost box-like, in oak. But as I'm broadening my skills I feel attracted to the techniques and materials used in mcm, in specific scandinavian furniture.
The execution, the use of solid wood on edges/legs/handles, the fine proportions. These are things that appeal to me when collecting furniture, but now I'm searching how I can implement these in modern, contemporary furniture and not just make 'retro' furniture.

Are there people here with the same idea or approach to furniture-making or can give me some advice?
Do you know designers who use old craft techniques/ old school skills? Post some pics/links if you can.

Thanks!
