Large Amas Shelf, Ash Stained Wood, Handmade in France, Oros Edition

About the Item

This large AMAS shelf seeks to take a contemporary look at wooden furniture traditionally associated with mulch. Here, raw rye straw is used vertically to make structural bases. The solid wood planks define different laying spaces. Imagined by designer Sacha Parent, the shelf is placed against a wall or in the middle of a space as a partition. Stable, it will accommodate your books or decorative objects. Manufactured and assembled by hand in the south of France The choice of materials and production methods is at the heart of this project. In Occitania, the ash tree grows near the place where it is cut and processed. In the same region, the carpentry workshop, an establishment and service providing assistance through work, deals with the stages of shaping the material: from machining to finishing. In the same logic, rye straw is harvested in the Saône et Loire. Extremely resistant, it is always mown by hand in order to maintain its full length. The solid wood planks and the rye straw are then found in Marseille for the assembly stage. In our studio, rye is manually associated with wood to form the furniture and know its final shape. The oak has been tinted thanks to a natural reaction of the tannins. Several attempts were necessary before finding this bluish tint, contrasting with the natural color of the straw.
