“I learned to read wood before I learned to read words. Some things just come first.”
Ngoc Vo grew up in her grandfather’s woodworking shop, where she was taught that the hands should understand before the eyes even notice. That philosophy still shows in the way she works today.
She’s the craftswoman behind many of Ashdeco’s tree bookshelves and wall tree shelves - pieces that require turning a straight block of wood into branches that feel naturally grown instead of artificially designed. It’s delicate work, somewhere between sculpture and stubbornness.
Customers often ask her how the branches end up looking “so real.”
Ngoc Vo usually smiles and says, “Because I’m not trying to make it look real. I’m trying to make it be real.”

Living Forest Architecture Meets Grand Archway Library Luxury Transform your reading salon, primary living room, or private study with this monumental handcrafted sculptural solid wood arched tree bookshelf by Ashdeco. Artfully composed as a seamless architectural sanctuary, the unit frames a grand curved archway bisected by a deeply textured, hand-carved tree trunk that roots securely into an elevated curved plinth. As the sculptural timber spine reaches upward, it extends into an asymmetric, sprawling leaf-tipped branch canopy designed to crown reading armchairs with biophilic beauty. Featuring dual columns of softly radiused shelves, this statement piece elevates extensive literature collections, family heirlooms, and curios into an enchanting living wall gallery.
Authentic Hand-Carved Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood slabs, sculpting the organic tree-bark striations, continuous curved arch frame, and seamless horizontal shelf joinery demands master-level subtractive woodworking artistry. Running your hands over the silky timber contours reveals the rich grain depth, dark warm walnut undertones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single unit possesses its own distinct natural identity-showcasing continuous grain flows following every swell of the trunk, soft bullnose shelf edges, and authentic timber knot signatures that deepen in character over time. A clear protective matte finish shields the wood against daily book retrieval, handling, ambient humidity, and dust while preserving its smooth, natural touch.
Why Choose This Arched Tree Bookshelf Unit?
Signature Arched Arbor Silhouette: Combines a stately architectural Roman arch with an organic hand-carved tree trunk and an expansive overhanging branch canopy.
Dual-Zone Multi-Tier Storage: Ten staggered rounded shelf platforms accommodate upright book collections, framed photographs, art volumes, and antique timepieces.
Grounded Curved Plinth Footing: Heavy, monolithic curved base platform anchors the structure to the floor, providing low-center-of-gravity balance and preventing wobbles.
Versatile Modern Aesthetic: Pairs effortlessly with Japandi, organic modern, wabi-sabi, dark academia, and contemporary luxury residential interiors.
Customization & Sizing Options Because each arched tree bookshelf is individually handcrafted from natural solid wood, Ashdeco offers bespoke tailoring to fit your ceiling height and room layout.
Custom Dimensions & Shelf Clearances: Need adjusted vertical height, deeper shelf depths for oversized folios, or tailored branch span? We offer full custom-sizing services.
Canopy Orientation & Finish Adjustments: Branch extension available in left or right orientations, alongside custom wood stain tones or tailored matte sheen levels upon request.
Natural Wood Variations: As an authentic hand-carved solid wood creation, natural variations in trunk bark carving, branch curvature, grain swirls, and subtle timber knot signatures are genuine marks of real wood craft.
Professional Wall Anchoring Required: Due to the dense solid timber construction and asymmetrical cantilevered branch span, heavy-duty anti-tip anchoring into wall studs is strictly required for safety and stability.
Bookshelf Unit Only: This listing includes the solid wood arched bookshelf and branch structure only (decorative botanical greenery, fairy lights, and accessories are for styling demonstration); armchair, picture frames, ceramic clock, books, and area rug are sold separately.
Care Instructions: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or soft-bristle brush along the bark grooves and shelf corners. Promptly wipe away moisture to preserve the smooth protective wood finish.

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
