Jim Partridge and Liz Walmsley Bookcase/ Shelving Unit, 1987

About the Item

Jim Partridge (1953-) and Liz Walmsley (1952-) started collaborating in 1986. Carved from blocks of green oak and then scorched to give it a striking deep black finish, this bookcase’s dark tone and size leads it to have a grand presence, following their intention to make “work with a strong but quiet presence in the landscape.”
