SHELF

Made to order in a limited edition of AP+10 with an 6-week lead time

Constructed from hand-cut and polished stinless steel, this narrow shelving unit by Hannah Kuhlmann operates as an architectural tower—a quiet room adornment elevated on slender, tubular legs. The structure stacks four open, cubical alcoves, each finished with highly polished, curved internal backings that act as concave mirrors.

Rather than serving as mere storage, the piece functions as a vertical cabinet of curiosities. The mirrored interiors catch, warp, and reflect ambient light, transforming stored objects into fluid, atmospheric compositions. Kuhlmann approaches metalworking much like tailoring, leaving subtle seams, visible folds, and the traces of fabrication present along its edges. Elevated above the floor on fluidly bent, pipe-like supports, the shelf commands a distinct autonomy while softening the boundary between functional furniture and reflective domestic sculpture.

Commissioned in a limited edition of AP+10 for Correspondances, the inaugural exhibition at Pièce de Résistance.

Artist

Hannah Kuhlmann is a Cologne-based artist and designer whose decade-long study of sheet metal reinterprets industrial materials through hand-folding, cutting, and welding techniques. Conceiving her objects as autonomous spatial companions, her practice explores the delicate boundary between raw metallurgy, functional form, and interior architecture.

Disclosures

Material Variations & Handcrafted Character

Each work presented by Pièce de Résistance is individually hand-crafted or produced in limited studio editions using raw, natural, or hand-worked materials—including wood, metal, resin, and ceramic. Due to the artisanal methodology and organic nature of these materials, subtle variations in texture, grain, tone, patination, and minor dimensional nuances are inherent to the process. Imagery and gallery display pieces (including Artist Proofs) serve as accurate references, but final pieces may display unique, natural distinctions. These variations are essential to the artistic integrity of collectible design and do not constitute defects.

Limitation of Liability

Neither Pièce de Résistance nor its represented designers and artists shall be held liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the handling, installation, use, or placement of any object. The gallery and its designers assume no liability for damage, wear, or alteration occurring after final delivery and client acceptance, including damage resulting from improper installation, environmental exposure, or normal wear and tear.
