Wood And Steel Floating Book Shelves

This installation was produced for a custom design build architecture group for a client who teaches medieval literature. Her primary design objective was to produce a sculptural entity that could store an eclectic library of references and artifacts used to develop her discipline that also fit within the character of her industrial loft apartment. Pricing for this unit is $65/Sqft of wall area coverage, which in this case included installation. For customers out of our service area, the unit cost ranges from ~$35-$50, depending on materials and finishes. We have built variations on this design in walnut, reclaimed oak, poplar, and stained hardwoods.

I am Southern Illinois based designer and custom builder with 18 years experience in metal fabrications, carpentry and custom installations. My background in both sculpture and architecture have helped in developing the capacity to recognize the spatial implications and conceptual potency of the objects with which we interact daily.
I have a particular interest in objects and installations that produce spatial relationships between users, program shifts and versatility, and help the owner/occupant express themselves through the act of dwelling.
I believe in the intuitions of my clients, and work to maintain an open dialogue and a collaborative spirit. As such, I often work in association with area design/build groups and local craftspeople in order to broaden my capacity to serve my clients' interests.

    Josh and his team did a great job, my comic book cabinets are phenomenal. My friends and family are very impressed with the quality and design, making it a showpiece for our library. As an added bonus my wife is very happy to have my comic book boxes off the floor and the comics stored in a great looking piece of woodwork. Thanks Josh!

    Our business needed 2 custom made reception desks to complete a small lobby design. We had very specific requests for materials, size and more. The final product we received is even better than we hoped. Joshua and Object A selected the most beautiful cuts of wood for these pieces, which are completed to a smooth and gorgeous finish and exactly meet our specifications.

    Aside from the final product, another highlight of working with this maker was the detailed and professional information he provided at the start of the project. The drawings and description provided really helped us move forward with confidence that we were on the same page in completing the envisioned design.

    I am pleased to highly recommend Joshua Ingold and Object A and hope to work with them again!

    Josh was extremely helpful in the planning stages of my project. His work product was top notch. When we had to purchase different cabinet hardware, I asked him to send me a bill for the difference and he wouldn't accept any more money. This guy is old-school good people. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

    This is an outstanding vendor. The quality of his work is superb. He was extraordinarily responsive and communicated with me often. And when he needed extra time to ensure perfection, he communicated with me well in advance.
