After having made a career as a computer scientist, Pierre Vanherck decided to turn his life around at the age of 38 and follow his true passion. “I started out making contemporary furniture” he remembers, “then one day I bought some machines together with a stock of precious wood from the late 19th century. I was told that this wood was destined to make prestige walking sticks: everything started from there.” Entirely self-taught, he developed a unique know-how that allows him to combine materials having different expansion coefficients. The result is the creation of exclusive accessories composed of the finest woods: silver, gold and even precious stones. Over the years, Pierre’s canes have acquired an international notoriety: unique, unusual and precious canes of the 21st century that give a new and modern meaning to the word elegance.
