Any question answered...

a few years ago there was a mail order catalog that had lost of nice things made of wood, metal and glass that i think was called 'manufactured' all sorts of well made things like stationary, tools and kitchen stuff, a lot of it was german and i remember some of the products were from Westphalia.
a lot of the stuff was well made but not over embellished a bit like an upmarket muji. an opinel knife or one of those coffee syphon things would be good examples of products from the catalog.

i can't find anything on the web. i may have got the name wrong? maybe they do not exist anymore? anyone know anything about this retailer?

I got my Zassenhaus from a place called Manufactum. You had to pay via BACS. Hang on…
