Kerning Bookcase Collection by Samuel Chan

The collection aims to achieve visual purity through precise woodworking, clean lines and lightness of touch. Ultra slim shelves are staggered to create a “staccato” effect, and are mounted with a small gap to create the impression of floating. Solid cross-grain wood lippings are hand-applied to all edges to provide visual emphasis and practical durability. The pieces have a wealth of subtle craft detail but are intended to be strong and functional, utterly simple but with immediately perceptible depth and quality.
