Storage to Mantel

  • Alexander de Caires

This birch ply wood storage and mantelpiece combination was custom built to fit. Originally the client was planning on buying a piece of Next shelving to fill the gap to the right of this chimney breast. However, once we started discussions, we wanted to explore ways that a mantel could be adjoined. The result is an impressive piece which breaks from standard mantel symmetry, creating a deep shelf that extends continuously, with carefully crafted butt joints and without visible fixings.
