Birki combines the Japanese word "biru" (ビル, meaning "building" or "shelf") with the Icelandic word "ki" (from "kíla", meaning "to support"), representing the supportive nature of these beautifully crafted floating shelves.
The Birki Shelves, sourced from Urban Legacy, are a stunning example of functional artistry, providing a blend of warmth and minimalism that enhances your interior space. Crafted from torched oak hardwood and finished using the ancient Japanese Shou-Sugi-Ban technique, each shelf showcases the natural beauty of the wood while ensuring durability and a high weight capacity of up to 100 lbs. The set of two's sleek and low-profile design not only allows for practical storage solutions but also elevates the aesthetic of any room, inviting mindfulness and appreciation for craftsmanship and nature.
