Shelve "Gridlock" kaidan dansu
About the Item
The design of this shelf from black walnut with an oil finish is based on the traditional Japanese furniture piece called Hako Kaidan or Kaidan Dansu. Originally This piece of furniture served both as a ladder and a storage structure and has been a ubiquitous presence in Japanese homes throughout history. It has played a role in the country's political, social, and cultural transformations and is also featured in popular myths.
Originally, the Kaidan Dansu was a simple open staircase that was later fitted with boards under the steps. According to legend, this modification was made to prevent samurai swords from reaching the second floor during an escape. Over time, it transformed into a furniture-storage-staircase hybrid. The evolution of its design is rich with stories and nuances, some of which may be legendary, while others may stem from practical considerations, such as the need for camouflage on the first floor, architectural pragmatism, or differences in craftsmanship between carpenters and cabinetmakers.

Frank buschmann
Frank Buschmann (1969-Pinetown, South Africa), artist / craftsman /designer .
Trained as a industrial designer and cabinetmaker. Of German origin, currently living in Galicia, Spain. He spent his childhood in South Africa and Nigeria, his adolescence and education in Germany, where he studied cabinetmaking at the Karlsruhe School of Crafts. In the Netherlands he studied Industrial Design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, where he has been later teaching in the Master "man and humanity". Frank argues that the mastery of a trade is a carrier of tools exemplary for the sustainability of the future. Being a master of a trade is not reduced to the virtuosity of handling some techniques but also supposes a long learning to recognize and cultivate specific attitudes and values. With this approach, Frank intends to recover and maintain the knowledge and practice, not only of the traditional techniques and processes of cabinetmaking, but also its values: patience, intuition and the search for perfection. The virtuous management of techniques goes through the learning of values and attitudes and, all of them, he considers, are universal tools needed to deal with the complexity of the future.
