Unearthing the Story of Emil Milan: A Research Project with Heart

The American Craft Council library contains books, catalogs, and unique files with information on thousands of artists from throughout the United States. However, in spite of our best efforts, it would be impossible to exhaustively capture the biography and work of every craftsperson, especially if they've been making under the radar. Woodworker and sculptor Emil Milan is one example of a highly revered artist with few accounts or files of his work in either the ACC collection or the world at large.

In addition to hardwoods and exotics, DesPlanques is also experimenting with "lesser" materials, like plywood, for his chairs, finishing them with a dark stain that allows the inviting shape stand out.
