The Craft & Provenance
Before nylon cord or carbon fiber existed, ancient artisans spun long-fiber plant paper into bowstrings, woven textiles, and structural armor capable of deflecting arrows. This oversized two-piece diptych translates that historical bast-fiber tensile strength into a refined architectural study of linear tension and shifting shadow.
Each individual paper cord is hand-twisted from resilient mulberry bast fibers, rolled to a uniform gauge, and anchored across an internal frame under calibrated tension. Suspended against a rich, dark-woven linen backdrop within deep solid-wood display cases, the taut strings create rhythmic optical moiré patterns. As ambient room light transitions from morning daylight into warm evening lamps, each cord functions as a tactile sun dial, casting razor-sharp, ever-changing linear shadows across the recessed backing.
Key Highlights
- Hand-Spun Bast Paper Cords: Individually twisted from durable botanical bast paper and strung under calibrated linear tension.
- Dynamic Linear Shadow Play: Taut cord geometry interacts with angled ambient light to project shifting moiré patterns across deep-woven linen.
- Architectural Diptych Scale: Set of two matching panels spanning 39.4" H x 15.8" W x 1.3" D each (total width approx. 35" with recommended 3–4" spacing).
- Museum-Depth Shadow Box: Enclosed behind protective glass within solid wood shadow boxes, shielding delicate fibers from dust and humidity.
- Flexible Orientation: Equipped with two-way heavy-duty D-rings for vertical or horizontal display; hanging weight: 14.0 lb total (7.0 lb per panel).
Quick Decision Guide
- Primary material: Hand-spun botanical paper cord, woven linen backing, protective glass, and solid wood shadow box
- Best placement: Over living room sofas, console tables, dining sideboards, wide entry halls, and executive offices needing clean geometric structure.
- Dimensions: 39.4" H x 15.8" W x 1.3" D (each panel; set of 2). Total hanging width with spacing: approx. 35"–36".
- Weight: 14.0 lb total (approx. 7.0 lb per panel)
- Hanging: Equipped with two-way D-rings on the back of each frame. Hang vertically or horizontally.
Why This Piece Works
Linear string art introduces sculptural depth and architectural discipline without visual clutter. The taut geometry casts genuine shadows that evolve throughout the day, providing an organic counterweight to contemporary furniture.
What to Expect From the Material
Each string is hand-twisted from botanical paper fiber; slight microscopic nuances in twist and texture attest to authentic handcraft. All cords are anchored under permanent calibrated tension.
Choosing the Right Scale
Measure the wall and furniture below before ordering. For a standard 70–85" sofa or 60" console table, this two-piece set (spanning approx. 35" with a 3–4" gap between panels) perfectly hits the balanced 60–75% visual width proportion. Mark outlines with painter’s tape before drilling.
Installation
For multi-piece sets, tape the full diptych arrangement on the wall first and maintain consistent 3-to-4-inch spacing. Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (drywall, wood studs, or masonry).
Care
Enclosed glass protection keeps the inner strings pristine. Clean only the outer glass and wooden frame using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Do not spray liquid cleaner directly onto frame joints.
Common Questions
Will the paper strings sag over time?
No. Hand-spun bast fiber possesses remarkable tensile strength, and the sealed shadow box buffers against humidity fluctuations, keeping each line taut year after year.
Can the panels be hung horizontally or separately?
Yes. Equipped with two-way D-rings, the panels can be hung horizontally side-by-side or stacked vertically, or displayed individually in matching alcoves.
Are wall anchors included?
Attached D-rings are included on each panel. Wall fasteners should be selected to match your specific wall substrate.
What should I inspect on arrival?
Inspect the packaging, wood corners, glazing, and cord tension while unpacking. If transit damage occurs, take photos promptly and contact Yudeco support.
