Detroit Bookshelf

Christie Brown and Jerry Davis  have an amazing loft apartment in the old Willy's Overland factory (the original Jeep) overlooking downtown Detroit.  They asked me to design an 'artistic bookshelf' to compliment the space.  The solution was almost too obvious:  Let's make a bookshelf that copies the streets of central Detroit and trim it using reclaimed timber from an old Detroit building.

I found this map of old Detroit and adapted it to hold books.
