This object is from the series, "A-Frames", and is a display shelf for hanging on a wall.
The A-Frames are geometrical shelves that can be hung on a nail and used for displaying arrangements of small objects on a wall. Shapes include variations on triangles, parallelograms, and other forms.
They are an exploration into geometry, color and display in the form of functional wall objects. The shelves are inspired by a Danish folk design from the island of Amager, near Copenhagen, and are hand-cut with traditional woodworking saws. Assembled using simple wooden lap joints and no glue, the frames can be taken apart and flat-packed for transport.
We were interested in making them as a sculptural wall object that was both functional and pleasing, and also for housing our various collections of small rocks, sculptures, found objects and keepsakes.
The A-Frame shelf comes fully assembled in a reusable box custom-made for the frame.
