An ode to brutalist beauty, the Doshi Shelf balances nostalgia with nuance.

Bookshelves often fade into the background, but the Doshi Shelf was designed to stand its ground. With a form inspired by the visionary B.V. Doshi’s early housing schemes for LIC in Ahmedabad, this architectural statement doubles as a functional piece of art.

Each angle and asymmetry echoes the rhythmic urban geometry of Doshi’s masterplans — humble, human, and hauntingly modern. It’s a tribute not just to Indian modernism, but to the homes that defined middle-class dreams in the 20th century. Now reimagined in wood and negative space, the Doshi Shelf invites you to layer it with books, ceramics, or objects of memory — anything that speaks to your personal narrative.
