Description
Our Bekka wall shelf is a square grid of open compartments, four across and four down, in painted blue wood. It is 70cm long, 70cm tall and 10cm wide, and that 10cm is how far it stands out from the wall, so it fills a good stretch of wall without crowding the room in front of it. The composition is 98% reclaimed wood and 2% iron, and it has real heft at 6KG, so it reads as a proper piece of furniture rather than a light rack. Each compartment frames one small thing on its own, which is what gives the shelf its charm.
It earns its place on a kitchen or dining room wall as a home for mugs and cups you would rather see than hide in a cupboard, one to a compartment, each set apart from the next. The shallow depth suits mugs, small jugs, glass tumblers, little bowls and ornaments rather than anything bulky, and the flat top gives a narrow ledge for a tall jug or a small lidded pot. It suits anyone with more favourite mugs than cupboard space, and it works just as well in a living room, hallway or study for trinkets, postcards and keepsakes.
The finish is painted, and reclaimed wood has already lived one life, so its grain and surface vary a little from one shelf to the next. Two small triangular braces sit in the top corners of the frame, and the back of the grid is open, so your wall colour shows through every compartment. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. For styling, mix plain and patterned pieces, turn the handles the same way, and leave a compartment or two empty so the grid has room to breathe.
