Ledge is a floating console, mounted to the
wall, in solid ash with a black glass top. It
stems from material exploration inspired by
the cliffs around Johns’ studio, making solid
ash reference crumbling stone through a honed
technique. The wood components are scored
across the grain, then carved by breaking the
woods grain, to create patterns of variable
depths, according to Johns’ sketch of the rock
formations outside. The facade of this piece
wraps around to the sides, and the center opens
up as two doors, to reveal a functional cabinet.
Due to the hand carved facade, no two pieces
are quite the same.
