About the Item

This carefully designed and handcrafted contemporary shelve by Tomaz Viana is a simple and minimalistic shaped piece where the juxtaposition of three horizontal cherry wood boards apparently intersect the two vertical that serve as supports. Fine wood carved butterfly dovetailed joints made of walnut reinforce the union between the horizontal and vertical planes, a contrasting and exquisite detail framed by the overall fine chamfered profile of the piece The whole piece is structured by a fine and intricate hidden system of joints and classical woodworking techniques were applied. Made from solid Portuguese cherry. Finished without sandpaper or modern technologies, instead, the surface is smoothed with a hand plane and other cutting blade tools, the original techniques used in the 18th century. This methods require years of expertise, knowledge of the material and handling of tools, from it, the surfaces acquire a special patina and since the whole piece of furniture is wood carved, the cut wooden fibres transmit to the sight and touch a sense of poetic and soft primitiveness. The expression of the hand. Also from the classic cabinet making techniques knowledge are the joints and construction systems applied, creating a solid and durable item to last generations and be an antique of the future. European hardwoods expand and contract depending with the relative humidity of the air and gaps or pressure between parts can be felt with its variations, as a natural characteristic of the wood, knots and cracks can be assumed with the knowledge that the structure of the piece is never compromised. Wood type and size can be changed according to request or availability.
