Crafted with care in our New York workshop, these aren't just shelves – they're suspended narratives, ready to showcase your treasures while adding a touch of rustic charm to any space.
Customization: Your Vision, Our Craft
We believe your shelves should be as unique as the items they display:
- Length: From petite accent pieces to grand statement shelves, you decide.
- Depth: Choose the perfect projection to suit your space and storage needs.
- Thickness: Opt for sleek and subtle or bold and substantial.
For those who demand both form and function, our hidden bracket system is a game-changer. Capable of supporting up to 300 pounds, it transforms your artistic shelf into a powerhouse of practicality – all while maintaining its weightless illusion.
The Knotty Alder Advantage
Knotty alder isn't just wood; it's a celebration of nature's imperfections. Each knot, swirl, and grain pattern creates a unique tapestry, ensuring no two shelves are exactly alike. Our artisans carefully select each piece, balancing character with functionality to give you a shelf that's both beautiful and practical.
We protect this natural beauty with our 100% VOC-free finish. It's our way of preserving the wood's rustic charm while ensuring your shelves are as safe for your home as they are stunning.
