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.
