?? Meet the Panelists: Daniel Clason H??k ?? For Daniel Clason H??k, craftsmanship isn’t just about materials—it’s about people, stories, and resilience. As Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Madera, Daniel has spent 30 years immersed in the world of design, carpentry, and woodwork—driven by a passion for solving problems through creativity. His deep appreciation for craftsmanship and materiality has shaped Madera’s approach to designing expertly crafted surfaces that enrich the spaces where we live, work, and gather.
