Les Appartements de Juju

Mushroom Shelves
Bespoke pieces

Betty Ithié (FR) 2023

Inspired by this apartment, closed for more than a century, we imagined that nature had reclaimed the space, and that mushrooms had sprung from the woodwork.

Our Mushroom shelves, sculpted from the great ash trees which pay homage to our region, take over the walls of the Appartements de Juju.

Carved, whittled, brushed, and polished: each unique item celebrates this waning species by giving it a symbolic renaissance in the form of wooden fungi.
With life resuming once again in this apartment, nature, too, has its place there.

Preparing the pieces in our workshop





Blocks of solid wood of different lengths and thickness are cut down to size, and then sculpted by hand.

Each shelf is unique
