From body to mind
For the sake of convenience, we separate what we consider things of the mind and those we consider things of the body.Nadalié offers a different vision. A vision in which body and mind are intimately connected and enrich one another.
In cooperage, the body represents the power of the natural forces that cause the earth and the light to drive majestic oak trees to grow high and mighty.
These venerable trees are then fashioned by women and men whose minds are seasoned by this powerful and complex manual work.
Craftsmen become creative, innovative, because they are at the heart of a delicately balanced equation: respecting tradition while turning to the future and the modernity that make for excellence.
