Column is a series of three tall, sculptural bookcases, ranging from 1700mm to 2400mm high. The basic form resembles a stack of building blocks asymmetrically placed. Functionally, they provide storage for books or other display objects on three sides. The boxes are of different sizes and orientations, giving a range of storage options while visually creating an overall staccato effect.
Born in Hong Kong and educated in Britain, Samuel Chan spent seven years training to be a furniture designer in London, Middlesex and Buckinghamshire Universities. After completing his Masters degree, he worked initially in hotel design. In 1995 Samuel set up Channels a furniture company known for clean, contemporary design and excellent craftsmanship.
