Mark Tuckey: Packing Crate Book Shelves Melbourne

Mark Tuckey: Packing Crate Book Shelves
Melbourne

We really like the asymmetry of these book shelves by Melbourne based furniture maker/designer Mark Tuckey. Made from recycled packing crate wood, the different shaped boxes create a frame-like effect perfect for storing thoughtfully edited collections of books or objects.

The idea of re-using packing crates or other wooden box structures may also inspire the DIY furniture buff to try creating something similar. Check out the other beautiful furniture created by Mark Tuckey here. They specialise in mixing new and recycled timber in their on site workshop where they make and sell everything from chairs, tables, cabinets, and beds to outdoor furniture.

Where can one buy packing crates for a DIY?

LOVE this. Our local Anthropologie has similar shelves as a display. I asked if they would ever sell them, but no...

I LOVE this place.. they have a great range of furniture as well as some of their shop fittings being amazing - all the signs. It is a bit sad their website doesn't seem to work correctly though

"Thoughtfully edited." Words to tattoo on the insides of eyelids all across America. Including my own....
