A note from our studio

“We are all from the same tree.” Tristan said that to me while we were choosing solid maple, white oak and walnut for every piece. We cut, fit and finish each one by hand in our workshop, so no two grains match. Made to order, by hand, and numbered.

The story

Shaped like a torii gate.

In Japanese tradition, a torii marks a threshold, the line between the ordinary and the sacred. The Zen Desk Shelf brings that idea to your desk: your screen rises on the frame, and a quiet space opens beneath it.

Each shelf is cut from solid maple in our studio. We round the front edge of the lower shelf by hand, then sand it and finish it by hand. Movable dividers on the lower shelf give the small things you reach for through the day a place of their own. Every shelf is engraved and numbered.
