Available in a classic combination of oiled walnut and black anodised aluminium, the column shelf can fit into a range of differently styled environments. The JA1 is perfect for being utilised as a bed-side table or a petite side table in a living room. Whereas the JA2's minimal, linear expression is ideal for displaying a larger collection of personal accessories, books or even kitchenware. Whether used individually or in a pair positioned at varying heights, the shelves are a stylish addition to the contemporary home.
After completing his studies in anthropology and sociology in his native England, John Astbury then moved to Sweden to study product design at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack).
With his own design studio in Stockholm, Astbury is known for re-examining the fundamental elements of an archetype to explore what can be done differently; creating new poetic purpose and direction to drive design in an alternative direction.
