originally used in a cutlery workshop in thiers, puy-de-dôme, a french town historically known for its knife-making industry.

made from solid pine, the shelving unit has a simple, primitive construction and a beautiful warm, timeworn patina. Each compartment retains its original brass number plate, reflecting its former workshop use.
