Means in practice: inheriting a company is the key to financial success in craftsmanship in everyday life.

But you don't have to inherit one. Anyone who has 35€ for the registration can found a company.

Well. The truth also includes the fact that in most cases there is then an ugly, a random Ikea lamp or a lamp that was briefly trendy years ago, on the ceiling. I haven’t been able to stand this “we wrap the lamp cable around a wooden branch” look (tbc) for a while now. In very few cases do people then settle for “at least no expensive spots.”

Lamps are also the crux of furnishing. Who can afford Occhi or Ingo Maurer? I am a big fan of our recessed spot basic lighting, when you’re looking for a Lego piece or a small screw or need to clean thoroughly. Ambient lighting alone is sometimes just impractical. Otherwise, I don’t notice the spots at all.

That's true. Most of the local craftsmen companies here have grown over generations. I don't find that bad at all. The contacts and the investment in equipment represent quite a significant barrier to entry. The fact that employed craftsmen don't make a golden nose despite the shortage of such workers is not really a new insight. Parallels in nursing professions certainly exist. As an average tiler, you have to work about 3 hours to afford about one hour of tiling work.

That people keep taking their own taste as a reference is by now just ridiculous. If someone is happy with Ikea furniture, fine.. just as if someone wants a thuja or cherry laurel hedge around their city villa.
