Hello @volkerku 

This custom wraparound floating shelf is a smart and stylish addition to your home office. Thoughtfully designed to suit the dimensions and layout of the corner space, it offers both function and visual cohesion. The use of pine panelling introduces a warm, natural texture that complements the room’s tone beautifully. 

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.
