Handcrafted wood and brass wall-mounted shelf

About the Item

"Elevate No. 5", is a one-of-a-kind piece as part of Huy Lam's "Elevate" collection. This piece is hand-crafted by the artist in Canada with hand-carved wood fashioned with classic joinery, burned and stained with polished brass inlay. This piece measures 15"h x 12.75"w x 4.75"d and mounts to the wall. From the creator: "The unexpected intersections of our lives have always fascinated me. Our disparate trajectories collide and create causal shockwaves across time and space that have lasting, irreversible impacts. Although linearity exists neither in life nor in nature, the human mind attempts to impose order upon a seemingly disordered world. This series of wood sculptures explores that paradoxical impulse, as stark straight lines of metal penetrate the free-flowing wood grain, bringing a flash of order to randomness. Just as I have carved out these paths in wood, collectively we strive to make our mark by blazing bright trails in a dark, dynamic universe. These bright trails are as impermanent as the individuals who strive so mightily to create them. The reflective, light-bouncing quality of the metal demonstrates this impermanence with every passing moment. As daylight incrementally shifts around the piece, the dark wood absorbs it, but the metal seems to collect it and will, eventually, catch the full angle of the light and flash with brilliance, only to once again fade into shadows." –Huy Lam This shelf features a geometric abstract design and luxury materials is a unique piece of functional furniture, perfect for adding vibrancy and individuality to your living room or to your home in general. Huy Lam is a multi-disciplinary artist whose current practice is obsessively focused on sculpture. He worked as a professional photographer for over a decade, all the while developing personal projects in a variety of media. Like many artists, Huy was an aspiring painter in his youth, and drawing remains integral to his process. His passion for working with wood explores its natural, diverse, and malleable qualities, with a focus on materiality and process. Huy Lam’s sculptural work includes custom furniture, lighting, stand-alone and wall sculptures. Send us a message on 1stdibs if you are interested in something custom for your project.
