Custom Gallery Shelving in Asheville

8/9/2017

"The Handyman Plan, LLC" is more than just a handyman group. Most of the people in our network are artisan woodworkers as well, and Ricardo Blanco even does metal work and sculpture! Today I'm going to show off a fine example of what a good craftsman like him can do.

Ricardo recently built a set of custom shelves for a local Asheville art gallery, and what I like best about them is the metal support structure, which has very few attachments to the wall. Instead, the shelves are held up by black pipes, which are secured by wooden supports above and below.
Picture
Once the posts were set up, Ricardo added shelves at various levels. From this angle, you can see why Ricardo didn't want to make a lot of attachments to the wall: one wall was made of brick. He took a problem and turned it into a design opportunity.

The combination of black-pipe and wood reminds me of the custom kitchen hutch which I built last year:

Black pipe and wood look great together, and they can blend into almost any interior, from rustic to modern, However, the system can be trickier than it looks, because It can be hard to get all of the joints aligned "just so." Ricardo did a great job on this installation.

The empty shelves are already eye-catching, but they really come into focus when they're filled with art and sculpture.

If you're looking for a local Asheville craftsman to install a set of custom shelves, give us a call. We know how to do it well!
Beautiful new shelves? Yes, please!
