Behind the scenes - Günter Suther

What is your motto?

A day without a smile is a lost day. Do your best every day.

I often ask myself what mankind has made of this wonderful world.

 

How did you find your way to Oldenburger?

Was looking for a new challenge, was newly married and the first child was on the way, needed better conditions and reliability.
Oldenburger made very great furniture at the time.
To this day I have never regretted it, with all its ups and downs.

 

What do you like most about your daily work?

That I still work with wood and can help shape how the new object will look afterwards.
That I can teach my younger colleagues a lot.

 

How do you find a balance to your daily work?

My hobby is animal breeding. Love to be in the garden, watching the plants and animals in it.
I like cooking very much.

 

What is the best book you have ever read?

Do not have a specific book. I read a lot about different subjects.
A Lucky Child, Narcissus and Goldmund, Lord of the Rings, and the Bible.
Next "Exodus" and "Learn to live together, not against each other" by Richard von Weizsäcker.

 

When was the last time you climbed a tree?

This year already a few times.

 

What travel destinations would you like to pursue next?

Indian Summer in Canada

Wood works.

It is essential for our work to become familiar with materials: to know their weaknesses, to make their properties and strengths visible, to show them in new contexts and to let them unfold their effect.

Despite all progress, the creative handling of the original material wood is still a supreme discipline that continues to fascinate us because of its aesthetic and functional possibilities. Being measured against the highest standards here is therefore always a special pleasure for us.
