About the Item

These exceptional wall-mounted shelves embody the moment in 1960s design when functional objects began to merge with sculptural natural forms. Crafted from richly figured redwood slabs, each shelf preserves its dramatic live edges—irregular contours, knots, and natural variations that speak to the tree’s history and elevate the pieces far beyond conventional shelving. The grain is expressive and deeply organic, with undulating growth patterns that shift in tone from warm amber to deep reddish brown. The natural edges create a striking interplay between the wildness of the raw timber and the clean, horizontal planes used for display or storage. This tension between form and function echoes the spirit of mid-century organic modernism, where designers embraced the beauty of unaltered natural materials. Though rustic in origin, the shelves have a sophisticated architectural presence. They mount cleanly and securely, with the supports designed to remain discreet so that the wood itself becomes the visual focal point. The surfaces have been carefully honed to reveal clarity and depth in the grain while maintaining the tactile authenticity of true live-edge redwood. Condition is VERY good for their age, with expected natural checking, slight edge irregularities, and subtle wear that contribute to their character rather than detract from it. These traces of time affirm their authenticity and lend a rich patina that cannot be replicated through modern production. Whether installed in a minimalist interior, a mid-century environment, or a contemporary space seeking warmth and organic presence, these shelves function as both practical elements and sculptural statements. Their scale and natural drama give them an unmistakable presence—ideal for collectors who value design objects that blur the line between furniture and art. Shelf A: 40.5″ Wide x 11″ Deep x 13.5″ High Shelf B: 47.375″ Wide x 14.75″ Deep x 9.625″ High Shelf C: 48.125″ Wide x 14.75″ Deep x 13.625″ High Shelf D: 60.25″ Wide x 12.625″ Deep x 16.875″ High
