Series - Tomo’s Tiny Shelf
During his unfortunate visa expiration (welcome back Tomo!), Tomo made visits to his friend’s workplaces while he couldn’t work. He shot photos and got a better idea of the mysterious inner workings of their workplaces. Tomo came to my shop and we finished a 1 day prototype for a shelf, which he took home to Japan for his mom.
Tomo chose the wood, proportions and finishing details, and it was lovely. Small, useful and with more presence than their size would betray.
A series of 7 shelves were then made from this prototype, in Indian rosewood, Cherry, Sapele, Walnut and Hard maple.
