The Link Bookshelf unites on one side the soft and round, and on the other side, the sharp and pointy.
Peter Qvist has made it his trademark to combine advanced 3D modeling with skilled craftsmanship. He has found that the two different working methods complement each other to perfection. An uncompromising approach to creating unique form furniture has led to the perfect balance of design, functionality and art.
With his design statements, Peter strives to unite the sophisticated and adventurous with the simple and elegant. With this unification, Peter's aim is that the viewer/user gets the pleasant satisfaction from the experience of simplicity while being stimulated by their curiosity about complexity.
The shelf consists of 14 sub-elements made of laminated birch veneer individually oiled and waxed.
