Chuck Mack

Chuck Mack is an American designer who is half-Icelandic, and currently lives and works in Reykjavik. A self-taught designer and carpenter, Mack’s design philosophy is governed by 5 rules: “Be original (no stealing, skimming or spinning), Give it purpose, Make it work for it’s purpose, Make it last, Make it look good”

Chuck Mack’s designs are derived from a practical and functional approach, finding solutions that work, and in keeping with his carpentry background, takes a lot of pride in producing quality woodwork. He quotes Jack Kerouac to explain his design philosophy: “The best teacher is experience and not through someone’s distorted point of view”.
