Conchiolin Floating Shelf #1

The second piece from the Conchiolin Series of works inspired by the protective layered architecture of black saddle oyster shells*.

Two piece floating shelf, made from micro-laminated fumed oak, pressure shaped and hand sculpted until the final form emerged.

Two, off-set, gently floating planes that reveal the history of their making across every layer.

Material: Fumed Oak (100% FSC), finished with Hard Wax/Oil

Dimensions: (H) 520 mm, (W): 1420 mm, (D): 200 mm

*Secreted by molluscs, conchiolin forms the organic matrix of a shell – providing a protective, outer layer shielding it from corrosion and serving as an initial framework for growth.
