Wind in the Willow — A Live-Edged Tree Branch Shelving Unit — Rustic Modern Wall Decor

Bring the quiet strength of the forest into your home with this handcrafted piece, a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern design. Built with intent and respect for nature, this unique piece was born from the idea that home décor should tell a story, not just serve a function.

Each shelf is made using locally sourced, branches and live-edge hardwood planks. The branches are carefully stripped, sanded, and sealed to preserve their natural character — knots, curves, and all — while the shelves retain their organic edges, showcasing the raw beauty of the wood.

This piece was created as a response to the fast-paced, throwaway culture of mass-produced furniture. It’s meant to slow things down. Every unit is built by hand, honoring traditional woodworking techniques, and no two are exactly alike. The goal is simple: to offer a functional art piece that connects people to nature and invites a sense of calm and grounding into everyday living spaces.
