Pine Shelves


I designed and built this piece for my two little girls as a way to help them combat clutter in the living room. The design is influenced Shaker furniture as well as Japanese furniture and architectural design. The baskets were purchased before final dimensions were decided. This piece is made from wide pine boards that were air dried and sat out to weather for a period of months. This process gives pine a very rich and unique colour. The finish is tung oil.
