Suspended Bookshelf // Bamboo
Product Description
Utilizing the physical strength and robust aesthetic of a welded steel frame, the suspended design of this bookshelf seems to offer both endurance and longevity with a timeless, modern look. The rich brown hues of the solid bamboo shelves—hand rubbed in natural tung (non-toxic) oil—sit brilliantly against the stainless steel frame. Given the suspended cables, the design offers a seamless look that appears to be very light. Looks, however, can be deceiving: each shelf actually supports up to 150 pounds!

About the Designer
A Los Angeles native and graduate from the USC School of Architecture, Taylor Donsker was trained to become an architect. However, his interests in furniture, or what he considers a, “scaled down form of architecture”, could never seem to escape him. After graduating from USC, he simultaneously practiced architecture and furniture design until early 2012, when clients from around the United States began demanding his pieces. Heavily influenced by architecture, his schooling allowed him to understand the structural properties and design possibilities of his now signature materials: concrete, steel, and wood. His pieces often grapple with the obsessions of modern architects such as weightlessness, abstraction, and simplified forms without losing their relation to human beings. Proportion, function, and quality are all deeply embedded in each design
