The Tree shelf “Bilbao” started when the artist found a branch that had broken off a fallen tree in Santiago. The branch was taken to the workshop and twisted, turned, and readapted so it could hug a flat wall and live a new life as a shelf. The shelf is part of the tree series, which attempts to let the natural forms found in nature dictate the majority of design. The Bilbao Console continues the serie based on the Bilbao Shelf.
