Lunuganga: Branch Shelf from WOK Media

The beauty of this simple shelf rests in its visual trickery of emerging from the wall. WOK Media's Branch Shelf was inspired by trees submerged in water that the London-based designers encountered when they spent time in Sri Lanka...

We're especially fond of the Lunuganga Branch Shelf in the bathroom — art when empty and functional when you need it. The name Lunuganga comes from the tropical garden residence (now a hotel) in Sri Lanka of architect Geofferey Bawa. Via: swissmiss.

I like it too but couldn't see how much it costs.

I wish there were some indication of the material used here. Is this simply a branch painted white, or is it cast from a mold?

It actually looks a lot like a branch wrapped in fabric. Hmm.

I don't think it's for sale...it's just art. It could be a great DIY if anyone can figure out how to attach it to the wall.

It's beautiful. I'll bet it costs a fortune.

I plan to use branches as towel rods in the bathroom under construction(nearly done!). Love this version, and will try to copy it.

Interesting, but I'm not a big fan of the decorating with branches trend. I'm just not seeing the appeal.
