Woodworks


Assymetric bookcase made of chafuta

The wood used in this bookcase is a memory of Mozambique, where the timber was bought directly from the sawmill in Maputo. The pieces were all of different width and breadth. I used the three pieces as they are, resulting in an asymetric bookcase. The shelves are made of pine and therefore painted.

The design is a bookcase that blends into the room, creating space rather than taking up space. The asymetry is based on the sizes of the three vertical logs. The colour of the shelves matches the background of the dark marine blue wall.
