Jnana: Mango Wood & Cane Wide Bookshelf

Jnana: Mango Wood & Cane Wide Bookshelf

Derived from the Sanskrit word for “knowledge” or “wisdom,” Jnana stands as a fitting name for a bookshelf meant to house your most treasured reads, curios, and mementos. Just as “jnana” signifies the pursuit of deeper understanding, this bookshelf is designed to be a stage for exploration—where every shelf becomes a testament to learning, creativity, and the stories you hold dear.

Aesthetics & Artisanal Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from solid mango wood, Jnana showcases a bold, contemporary silhouette distinguished by its open, rounded-square frames. Some of these frames incorporate cane panels, adding both textural appeal and a sense of organic warmth. The unique configuration of negative space and cane inserts infuses each shelf tier with an airy, sculptural quality, ensuring that your displayed items receive the visual attention they deserve.

Because Jnana is handmade by skilled artisans, each piece bears subtle variations in the wood, cane weave, and finishing details. These unique qualities set it apart from mass-produced shelving units, giving you a truly individual product that reflects the care and expertise of its makers.

Finishes & Customization

Shown here in a soft dove grey paint, the finish complements the cane’s natural tones with a soothing, refined palette. This understated color allows your books and decorative objects to shine against the neutral backdrop while adding a modern, serene touch to your décor. However, Jnana’s design is by no means limited to dove grey. Because it’s available in various finishes and colors, you can customize the bookshelf to fit seamlessly with your home’s style—be that a bright, playful hue that makes a statement, or a rich, dark stain that highlights the wood’s grain.
