Diana Bookshelf
About the Item
This bookshelf is made from Florida mahogany using traditional joinery. The mortise and tenon joint is visible from the side of the bookshelf. I work with a master woodworker to create each design by hand, unveiling the history and character of a once living tree.
The finest mahogany grows only in the Caribbean and the southernmost reaches of Florida and is sadly endangered in the wild. This species can only be sourced by reclaiming (sub)urban trees or trees that fell naturally in the wild. The timber is milled locally in South Florida and cured for several years before it is ready for use. The design of each piece is informed by the natural shape and character of the wood.
At Shizen Studio, every consideration is made to respect the earth and her inhabitants. Designs are produced by a network of skilled artisans and makers that share a commitment to the environment, local community and quality craftsmanship. Glues are water-based and non-toxic. No VOC finishes are made from botanically derived oils and beeswax. All packing materials are reusable, biodegradable and recyclable. Each design is intended to foster a sense of connection to the natural world.

View AllFossil Table
By India Foster, Shizen Studio
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
This table is made from petrified palm wood and solid bronze. The surface of the top is polished to reveal the intricate details and the bronze base plate is carefully cut to match the outline of the fossilized wood. I work with a metal artist to create each design by hand and each piece I create is completely unique with its own fossil top.
Petrified palm wood can be found in the southern states on the Gulf of Mexico, where palm trees grew millions of years ago along the coast. Some trees were submerged and fossilized to form excellent petrified specimens. These pieces were obtained from the Catahoula Formation. The bronze base is made by a skilled metal artist who shapes the bronze using only hand tools.
