Furniture Design for a Friend

Introduction

I was originally approached by a friend with the brief of creating a bookshelf design with hidden storage. It had to be small and have a feeling of lightness so that it suits their small Toronto apartment. The final iteration of the bookshelf is intented to be built with wood. There are several components made from rattan that aid in creating a feeling of airiness. The curved form of the bookshelf allows it to stand alone as a statement piece in stark contrast to the jagged walls and edges that are typical of a modern condominium apartment.
