Keefer is a credenza that alludes to the objects stored within its shelves.
It obscures their identity through its bamboo-beaded skirt. Black or blue skirt masks the vertical supports in creating the illusion of floating shelves. The interior can be accessed from any side by parting the beaded skirt. Calen Knauf is a Canadian designer living and working in Vancouver, Canada. Galen studied Industrial Design at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Shortly after graduating Calen won best student lighting for his thesis project Standard Lamp at Design Plus 2014 in Cologne, Germany.
