I made this in a couple of stages …

First – after planning my project out on paper

I made the lower base from Hot Rolled Steel Tube – cut and welded in my Workshop – where I fabricate my Custom Steel Furniture I produce.

And then took it to my local PowderCoating Factory to have a Gloss White finish applied to “match” the appearance of IKEAs KALLAX (bye-bye EXPEDIT).

Here’s the first section all done after we just moved in!

Following a brief time I completed PowderCoating the remaining middle support section to create room for my brother Aaron Kramer’s wire sculpture.

This clever IKEA hack combines a toddler bookshelf and craft storage box

I like the idea of the powerful impact that this hack makes to all who visit our “new” (in a Vintage building that was built in 1884) loft!
