The piece is laminated with Ash veneers before being skilfully hand carved to define its overall form. It is accented further by carving into the two faces to give a sense of swirling smoke. The form settles into a gently curved upper surface, and the carved detail underneath it also remains constant along its horizontal length. Genie can be seen as functional art when used as a floating shelf or displayed in its purest form as a sculpture.
Genie comes with adjustable concealed fittings for either brick or plasterboard walls which attatch the shelf to the wall, creating the "floating" illusion.
