PINE, PEGS AND PRESSURE


Design and construction of room divider / shelves for the Lala Tøyen office.

Two vertical posts of solid pine stand between floor and ceiling, held in place by the compression of the space itself. Shelf boards rest on round wooden pegs, each one passed through a hole in the post and protruding on either side. No glue, no fasteners — the boards sit by gravity, the posts by tension.
