Tana is a freestanding timber bookshelf is inspired by Japanese design – the word tana is Japanese for “shelf”. Characterised by rounded vertical lines meeting flat horizontal shelves, the shelf also features a detail at the back that sets this piece apart from other Japanese-style timber bookshelves.
Melbourne designer George Harper, who founded Tide Design in Melbourne in 2007, says Tana is “inspired by the clean lines, simplicity and functionality of Japanese design. The Tana combines its striking looks with complete versatility as it can be made in multiple sections, and a variety of configurations to suit a wide range of applications.”
Tana is shown here in Tasmanian oak with an oil finish, but is also available in American Oak, American Walnut, Tasmanian Blackwood and American Rock Maple, each giving a different flavour to the finish.
The shelf also comes in two standard sizes or can be customised up to 3 metres long.
