TAGS: wood, oak, walnut

"This trendy, heavy but very aerial bookshelf is a branch with simplified ramifications on which books alight as if they were birds. Hollow multiplex birch wood structure veneered with oak woof following the traditional cabinet-making know-how." - Olivier Dollé

And a custom-made version for a loft in Paris.

"Olivier Dollé comes from Annecy in Haute-Savoie (France) and was trained at the Boulle school in Paris in cabinet-making, traditional and contemporary. His work was recognized by renowned selection boards such as the Grands prix de la création de la ville de Paris or the Ateliers d’Art de France, both through its technical qualities and through its esthetic and poetic originality that bring new prospects for cabinet-making on the design market.
His collection of furniture is presented to you in self-publishing, we’re here speaking of hand-crafted design, not industrial design. The fabrication is a mixture of traditional assembling techniques and innovative contemporary techniques. A line where each piece is a high-end product, authentic, created with quality materials and made by the hands of a craftsman. Just as designers and fashion designers used to do, Olivier makes his prototypes himself.
What’s behind his creations, is balance. He disregards the superfluous and stands up for his values : know-how, authenticity and quality.
Finally, for Olivier Dollé, conceptualization taken to extremes takes the project away from its original beauty because it diverts it from its primary function. His cabinet-making and design skills also allow him to directly respond to tailor-made projects for your home or in collaboration with architects." - from Olivier Dollé website.
