Floating Shelf

2024 Woodworking • Storage • Design

This shelf was a small furniture project intended to function as a floating wall shelf for displaying personal objects. Later when I redesigned my room around the loft bed, the shelf lost its original placement and found a new place under the loft. I modified the piece to rest on the structural support beam of the loft frame, allowing it to serve as a storage and display surface area above the sofa. The shelf is primarily constructed from plywood, it has chamfered edges to soften the form and improve visual balance. A flat back was incorporated to increase structural stability against the beam. Finished with Sedona Red stain, the piece complements the surrounding wood tones while standing out as a deliberate design element.
