My name is Oliver Piepereit, and I’m a trained architectural interior designer with a passion for all aspects of arts, crafts and design. I’ve wanted to design and make on a small scale for many years, so I pulled away from the rat race and trained up in furniture design, making, restoration, refinishing and French polishing. Following my tuition, OP Woodcraft was formed in April 2014.
Life in the rat race was tiring, stressful, monotonous and took valuable time away from what is most important in my life -- family and health. Working in a practical, creative environment has sculpted a life that is low in stress with an abundance of escapism which I’m sure translates into my work.
