Vitulus Sculptural, Hand Carved, Floating Shelf in Maple Wood by David Tragen
About the Item
The elegant balletic movement of a seal (vitulus in Latin), darting through the waves was the initial spark for this sculptural floating shelf. I was looking to make a piece that married functionality with aesthetics in even amounts and captured both the playful agility of the seal with a reference to its marine environment. Vitulus is pictured here in Maple with turquoise and magenta painted sections. You can customise this piece to any colour on request and sizes range from 1100 to 1500mm in length. It comes with concealed fittings to create the illusion that it is “floating”.

David Tragen
I am a British designer and artist creating original, contemporary furniture, wall art and sculpture. I make both open and limited edition pieces to my own design, as well as working closely with clients on bespoke commissions. I work from a converted barn in rural Cheshire and all my designs are made to order, ensuring that whether you choose a piece from my existing collection, or commission something wholly unique, it will have been created for you, by me, with intense focus and attention to detail. I believe that by introducing beautiful things to the home, whether furniture or art, offers benefits that far exceed the aesthetics. The poet John Keats said: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Owning something that makes your heart leap a little at every sight, bringing a future heirloom into your home, is an eternal pleasure. I find my inspiration primarily in the natural world and regularly use themes of movement and flow, characterised by clean lines and gently undulating curves. My work is predominantly handmade and blends traditional craftsmanship with digital design and production. My creative journey began in Barcelona in 1996, where I originally trained before returning to the UK, in 2002, to gain two further years’ experience in two of the country’s leading fine furniture workshops. Here I learned the precision and attention to detail that characterises the work of the best names in luxury, bespoke cabinetry, from Thomas Chippendale to David Linley.
Magenta or turquoise paints are standard but customised colours can be requested. Other timbers are also available on request. A decorative veneer such as birds eye Maple can also be applied to top and bottom faces.
