Small pieces of furniture made from a freshly cut birch tree on the Odaja.

Odai’ are small-scale mountain farms in Romania/s Valcea area, built on common land and used to complement the food production of village families. Each family would have a simple one room house – ‘Odaia’– comprising a barn and an animal stall, along with land for growing vegetables, an orchard and grazing areas.

The principle of Odaja constrcution is local and manual.

Furniture and fittings are often simple and improvised and make best use of the material on site.
