About the Item

Laminated Maple Vitulus Floating Shelf by David Tragen Dimensions: W 110 x D 20 x H 14 cm Materials: Maple (Laminated), Painted. Weight: 2 kg. About: He left university with a degree in International Business in 1994, but had already developed a sense that his true calling lay elsewhere. He immediately changed direction, qualified as a TEFL teacher, and after spending a year teaching in Sicily, moved to Barcelona in search of creative inspiration. His journey as a craftsperson began by upcycling disused pieces of furniture found around the city, which served as a launchpad for teaching himself the skills of furniture making. He later enhanced his knowledge through courses in marquetry, wood carving, life drawing, and technical drawing. After four years, he left his teaching position to pursue a full-time career as a furniture designer and maker. Over the following two years, he completed various projects for bars, restaurants, and private clients in both Barcelona and Ibiza. However, to fully express his creative vision of working with flowing curves in wood, he returned to Britain in 2002 to train with the late David Savage. He was later selected by Silver Lining Furniture to work as a cabinetmaker. In 2004, he set up his own business in Manchester to bring his own designs to life. Since 2019, his work has diversified with a stronger focus on sculptural objects, incorporating both hot and cold bronze casting techniques to realise these forms. What truly excites him about his work is turning the intangible into physical objects. His aim is to create original pieces inspired by the natural world—calming and mesmeric in nature—often using themes of movement, flow, and transformation to achieve this.
