Tells us about the inspiration behind your bookshelf.
"This was a piece I created for Lefties Showroom in Los Angeles. The idea was to create an elegant, geometrically driven space while still retaining a sense of warmth and an inviting atmosphere. I think the play of strong horizontal lines created by this beautiful rich-toned walnut formed a great result."

What's your favorite book on the shelf?
"My favorite book on these particular shelves is Wood Architecture Now by Philip Jodidio. This was a gift given to me by my good friend, Jenny. The images throughout it have afforded much inspiration."
