This commission was intended as a matching pair - a desk wih drawer and hanging shelves above. Both pieces were built from Walnut and designed specificially for my client's guest bed room. The book shelf was a particularly exciting piece for me, as it was inspired directly from a set of Shaker hanging shelves, which were traditionally hung by a rope from pegs in the wall. In my interpretation, I used a live-edge piece of Walnut sap-wood, mounted on to the wall, as the support for the shelves. The desk below also relates with a sap-wood drawer front.
