Designer: Lisa Brustolin

The new collection of everyday furniture challenges the prevailing minimalism trend in design by offering vibrant and visually intriguing pieces. Each item combines colors, materials, and shapes to create highlights in any room. For example, the Differ Shelf features translucent epoxy resin legs and opaque shelves, creating a captivating interplay of light. The Opticabinet, crafted by Venetian artisans, creates an optical illusion with alternating patterns of blue and green. Lastly, the Wrong Mirror offers a modern twist on a classic design, prompting reflection with its unconventional form and materials.

Designer: George Bosnas

Drawing inspiration from the beloved 1980s toy, the Rubika bookcase seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with nostalgic charm. While resembling a three-dimensional cube from a distance, upon closer inspection, it reveals the dimensions of a traditional bookcase. This captivating illusion is achieved through a clever arrangement of cubby shapes and a blend of assorted woods, resulting in a visually dynamic and intriguing piece.

Each type of open-shelf design comes with different advantages, and aesthetics, and can be integrated with the decor of different rooms. However, choose the best one according to your individual preferences and space.

Modular wooden bookshelf is inspired by Ryuichi Sakamoto’s vision

Posted on 27/03/2024 by Ida Torres

I’m always on the lookout for new furniture that will help me store and display all the knick knacks that I have lying around my house. Most of the time I choose those that are mostly functional and of course, affordable. But I’d also like to have some pieces that are decorative and can even look like sculptures or art pieces, even if they probably won’t hold a lot of my stuff. This modular wooden bookshelf would be a nice addition to my space, especially as it pays tribute to the late great Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Designer: Kengo Kuma for More Trees

The acclaimed Japanese composer and pianist founded design company More Trees to create products made by local craftsmen using materials found in local forests in Japan. But before he could make the dream a reality, he passed away a year ago in 2023. His long-time friend Kengo Kuma has now taken over the company and is making the dream a reality by unveiling 〇〇□ (Marumarushikaku), a modular wooden shelf made up of different shapes stacked together. It can also looks like an art piece because of its unusual look and concept so you have a decorative shelf as well.

The structure of this piece of furniture is made up of rectangular shelf boards and round pillar boards stacked on top of each other. You can arrange the round parts randomly between the shelves so you can create your own look and design. It may not look that stable at first glance but you can place things like books, plants, bottles, pots, and other knick knacks that you need to display in your living space. The boards have slots where you can place the round parts in so it becomes an actual shelf that can hold and partition your various items.

The rotating plates and multi-leveled shelves made from wooden materials from local forests can add an interesting and minimalist look to your office or living room. The modular wooden shelf will be unveiled on the anniversary of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s passing on March 28 at the Ace Hotel Kyoto. They will be stacked up to eight levels so you can see that it works despite its seemingly “fragile” appearance.

This furniture installation is inspired by industrial architecture

Posted on 14/01/2023 by Ida Torres

Bernd and Hilla Becher were German photographers (who first met as art students during the 50s) who were famed for their photographic documentation of the then-fading industrial architecture in Western Europe and North America. This phase of architecture was pretty important as industrial buildings at that time were slowly disappearing but were still a pretty interesting kind of architecture that was more functional than aesthetic. These “anonymous structures” were immortalized in the couple’s photographs.

Designer: Studio Mieke Meijer

A Dutch design studio has now created a furniture installation series that was inspired by those photographs from the Bechers. The Industrial Archaeology Series pays tribute to these photographs as the designs for the furniture and the way they were put together is based on these industrial structures that they documented. The first in the series is the Gravel Plant 01, an installation of shelves and spaces made of different geometric shapes and sizes. They are both functional and decorative and can also be modular and put together to create an entire furniture system.

The Industrial Landscape 01 is a staircase installation at a gallery that is inspired by the landscape of olden days in quarry terrains where these industrial installations were the dominant structures. The design shows off actual stairs and shelves and containers, again with different shapes and sizes put together. There are stairs, shelves, drawers, and other spaces to place your decorations and stuff, also showing off a modular system that is decorative and functional.

These installations are meant to restore these functional designs from the industrial structures this time enabling them for “studying, collecting, and storing”. The furniture are made from wood and steel, and seem to be stable enough to hold all your items and in the case of the staircase, actual people. Each piece in the installations are hand made and detailed “with outstanding attention to industrial details and skilled craftsmanship.”

This sustainable shelf requires no screws or tools to assemble

Posted on 28/10/2022 by JC Torres

Looks can be deceiving, they say, and what might be simple could actually be complicated in reality. A simple desk, for example, might be minimalist on the outside but is hiding complex mechanisms in its drawers. Then again, the most successful and effective simple designs are actually born from sophisticated thinking and, at times, nontrivial concepts and theories. This wooden shelf, for example, is so simple through and through to the point that you might even wonder how it is able to hold its parts together. Fortunately, it does work as advertised, creating a flat-packed piece of furniture that is sustainable at every point, from its creation to its transportation and even to its assembly.

Designer: Carlos Platz

The market is filled with minimalist wooden shelves that can be shipped in a flat-pack and assembled at home. After all, IKEA has become a household name, almost literally, and is overflowing with such pieces of furniture. Unless they are formed from a single piece of material, most furniture is held together using screws, glues, or even pieces of plastic. This creates complexity that is hidden behind simple facades, a complexity that sometimes eats away at the planet little by little as well.

Inspired by the simplicity of alpine joinery and architecture, this wooden shelf throws out all those conventions to arrive at a connection system that is genius in its simplicity. There are no extra parts or materials that join the shelves and the legs together other than the shelves and legs themselves. There isn’t even any kind of adhesive to give you confidence that the shelf won’t just fall apart once you put something heavy. Instead, the shelf relies on shapes and physical to keep everything in its proper place.

Named after the Italian word for “rotation,” Svolta shelving uses pieces of wood that have special cutouts that fit into each other tightly. The shelves have circular cutouts where the legs are supposed to go. The legs, however, aren’t perfectly round but are like wooden rods split in half. The idea is that you insert the legs into the shelves sideways and then rotate them so that the groves match the shelves. With this design, a three-layer shelf with six legs can supposedly be assembled by a single person in just two minutes.

Keeping the design simple has other benefits that go beyond ease of assembly. The furniture can be packed more tightly to reduce packaging waste, and they can be transported easily and more efficiently, further reducing carbon emissions from transporting products. The shelf can also be made from sustainable materials and processes, and Svolta itself is made from European oak and finished with eco-friendly colorless hard oil. Even better, it’s a system that can scale to other types and sizes of shelves, creating a new shelving system that is so simple yet elegant that it feels almost like magic.

This odd metal shelf tries to preserve your work-life balance

Posted on 06/09/2022 by JC Torres

The boundaries between work and personal life have been blurring in the past few years, and recent work-from-home arrangements have only muddled the lines even further. As many people learned the hard way, it takes a good amount of mental discipline to separate the two when they’re working at home, but it’s not exactly impossible. Having a separate home office is ideal but isn’t always an option for those with limited space. In such cases, furniture can come to the rescue, creating a physical and visual boundary between different parts of your life. That’s exactly the kind of effect that this shelf is aiming for, creating a figurative and literal separation between work and rest, especially for those that tend to have their desks beside their bed.

Designer: Jeong Hyuk Kim

If you look at it head-on, this shelf looks almost stereotypical, with box-like spaces for items like books and a top surface for putting decorative items like plants and vases. Once you start viewing it from a different angle, though, you’ll immediately see how it’s not your conventional shelf, especially in the way its body seems to snake upward, creating another space on its back.

The Criteria shelf concept is actually a blending of two different types of shelves for different parts of the day. As mentioned, one is a typical shelf to store books, stationery, desk accessories, decor, and other items you might need for work. The opposite side of this shelf, however, also has a shelf but with more limited space. It also has lighting that would be more useful at night.

This is the “rest” part of Criteria’s functionality. While one side is designed for productivity, the other is designed as a temporary landing area for transit items like phones, books, watches, or glasses. In other words, it functions as a bedside night shelf, though its height might not be ideal for reaching out at night. The idea is to have a single piece of furniture serve two functions, depending on which side you’re facing. That only works, however, if both “faces” of the shelf are within arm’s reach in the first place.

The skeleton of the shelf is made from a single sheet of metal bent to achieve this crooked shape. The central column and the shelves themselves are attached through gaps in the body. To prevent the metal edges from injuring people, they are bent to curve downward, creating a bit of safety. The shelf has a built-in power socket and USB ports for charging devices and powering the night lamp, and the gap between the spine and the shelf’s frame creates a path for the power cable to pass through.

The Criteria shelf concept presents a rather interesting solution to the problem of keeping a work-life balance at home. Rather than having a single shelf where work and personal items mix indiscriminately, it has two distinct areas for work and for rest. It’s also most metaphorical in how it shows two sides of the same shelf as if reminding people that, at the end of the day, these separate sides are still part of the same person.

Spark furniture concept offers simple ways to tune your tables and shelves to your style

Posted on 19/07/2022 by JC Torres

It’s not easy to find furniture or products that perfectly fit our needs and our aesthetic tastes, not unless we buy bespoke editions or commission someone to make them for us. Once in a while, we do come across a table or a shelf that sings to us, but most of us have to settle for furniture that carries a generic design for mass production. We often end up personalizing these home pieces with photos, organizers, vases, decor, and other things that make them unique and different from others of the same design. What if you could actually customize a mass-produced desk or shelf easily without having to buy additional accessories? That is the idea behind Spray, and it delivers customization in a simple yet effective way that doesn’t take anything away from its minimalist beauty.

Designer: Pavel Vetrov

Admittedly, there are plenty of furniture these days that try to flaunt their minimalism and configurability. Sometimes, however, the system is only visually simple but inherently complex. Hidden mechanisms, detachable modules, and moving parts might be out of sight, but they also make the product more prone to wear and tear, not to mention making them harder to repair or replace. In contrast, almost every option is within plain sight with Spray, and nothing requires screws, hinges, or anything metal for that matter.

The desk, for example, offers a clean and open surface to work with, with no borders or hidden pockets other than a traditional drawer. There is a rail system on the back that does let you add certain functional pieces as you need. It’s all made of wood, so there are fewer chances of sliders getting unhinged or deformed. Although the concept already includes at least three of these “modules,” there’s plenty of room to add more if necessary, presuming they’re available.

Interchangeable parts for the desk include a box for holding pens or other small items, a book stand, and a circle that has a mirror on one side and a corkboard on the other. In addition to being functional, they also add visual accents to the desk, their brown hues complementing the table’s black surface quite nicely. You can mix and match and put them in any order or position you prefer. The book stand, for example, can be easily detached when you need to read something up close. And at the end of the day, all these parts can retreat to the back, leaving your desk space clean and tidy.

The Spray shelf uses the same rail concept but with a simpler, single groove in the front of each shelf. This is where wooden discs slide into place to add some variety to the furniture that is pretty much a simple wooden frame. These discs act as shields to hide things behind, and they can be positioned anywhere you like. They’re also entirely optional, in case you want to show everything you have on display.

Spray doesn’t do anything extraordinary to provide personalization options, and that is actually its biggest strength. It is simple, pure, minimalist, and beautiful, and it doesn’t let its flexibility get in the way. It’s definitely a refreshing take on a growing trend of products, both furniture and accessories, that start to go to the opposite extreme of becoming more complex in the name of flexibility.

These shelves look like abstract art of faces gazing at you and your collection

Posted on 08/07/2022 by JC Torres

There is something both mystifying and unnerving about a beautiful shelf that seems to be staring back at you.

Shelves are often used as a place to display things that are important to us, from our favorite books to photos of loved ones or memorable events. In most cases, the shelves themselves are nondescript or minimal, designed to shine the spotlight on the objects they hold rather than on themselves. Of course, there are also times when shelves are so ornate and magnificent that they almost become the center of attraction. This particular shelf design is somewhat both, holding your mementos and possessions while also standing as an art piece in itself. It could even be an instrument of thought and discussion, provoking some contemplation on what it really means to see things and how our minds can work to fill in the gaps that were never there.

Designer: Freia Achenbach

“Spectator” is a rather apt name for this odd-looking shelf that seems to be made of interlocking jigsaw puzzle pieces. It does, however, raise the question of which one is the spectator and which one is the object of observation. You would think that you or your visitors would be the answer to that, but a closer look at the shelf’s pieces could give you an eerie feeling of being watched instead.

That’s because almost every single piece of this puzzle shelf would look like a distorted human face on closer inspection. In reality, of course, none of them are actual faces, at least none that would resemble reality. And yet, once we initially see those forms in the different pieces, it’s almost impossible to unsee them.

In that sense, the Spectator Series of shelves is as much a psychological art piece as it is a piece of furniture. In its small way, it demonstrates the wonder of our brains that try to fill in the gaps to complete forms and ideas, like how it is able to see faces in shapes that are so far removed from human heads. With so many faces hiding in plain sight, the roles of observer and observed are also reversed, at least in our mind’s eye again.

The shelf still adheres to minimalist design principles despite the odd shapes of its pieces. Each of those pieces is hand-painted with resin, giving it a glossy look that almost reminds one of ivory and bone, which probably helps reinforce that image of faces in the shelves. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces interlock perfectly in a fixed arrangement, so no other connecting part is needed to keep them together.

The Spectator shelves might not be the most practical furniture to hold your things, but it definitely puts them in a different perspective, figuratively and literally. Each negative space isn’t just a place to put your stuff into. It also becomes a metaphor for how these things occupy your mind, just like those comic strips and caricatures that put things inside your head in an almost comical and distorted fashion.

Furniture that plays with hues and shapes is sure to bring some color into your home life

Posted on 24/06/2022 by JC Torres

The pervasive minimalism trend in design has made many products, particularly furniture, almost too plain. Of course, there is beauty in simplicity and uniform colors, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only way to go. In fact, there’s almost a sort of counter-culture flowing in the undercurrents today, offering maximalism as a salve to soothe many of the mental and emotional ills of today. One doesn’t have to go overboard, of course, in spicing up everyday life, and a new collection of everyday furniture shows how mundane objects can become the literal and figurative highlight of a room, with just the right interplay of colors, materials, and shapes.

Designer: Lisa Brustolin

On their own and with their peculiar designs, these pieces of furniture would have pretty much fit the description of minimalist products. Their basic shapes and base color schemes are not that uncommon, but as with anything in life, it’s the different ways you mix these elements up that really make a difference. And in this collection, it’s exactly that interaction of elements that makes them stand out without removing their primary function as usable pieces of furniture.

The translucent epoxy resin legs and opaque shelves already give the Differ Shelf a sharply contrasting motif. It is, however, the way the light bends, reflects, and refracts through those yellowish panels that turn the shelf into an almost dazzling light show, depending on where you stand. Given its unique visual properties, this shelf is designed to stand in the center rather than against a wall so that people can walk around it and view it from different angles. It truly differs from other shelves.

In contrast, the Opticabinet is meant to be viewed from afar in a corner or an edge of the room. Made by Venetian craftsmen from wood on a brass base, the alternating patterns of blue and green make it look like the cabinet’s exterior was expertly painted with a gradient color. Upclose, however, you can clearly see it’s all just an optical illusion created by shapes and contours.

The Wrong Mirror is both the least complex but also the boldest of the collection, providing only half of the function it’s supposed to give. It puts a modernist twist on a classic arch mirror design, visually splitting a mirror in half and using the wrong scale and wrong material on the non-reflective half. Admittedly, you’ll feel a bit wrong looking into the mirror, but perhaps it could also be a thought-provoking metaphor like a glass that is half full or half empty.

Brustolin’s furniture collection displays an interesting way of giving shape to color, whether through a play of light or through optical illusions. At the same time, the quirky designs also give shape to expression at home or in your room, providing functional furniture that also stands like art pieces to complement your personal style and inclinations.

This table also serves as storage for your working and display needs

Posted on 11/04/2022 by Ida Torres

I have a lot of stuff. That’s the understatement of the decade. And I spend more than half of my day in front of a computer and therefore on a desk. When we started working from home during the pandemic, I had to look for a workstation that had a lot of storage so I could make the most out of my space at home, meaning it had to have storage functionality as well. And while I eventually got one that fit my needs, when I saw this concept for a desk and shelves, I wished there was something like that in the market as it’s perfect for my needs.

Designer: (Small Splash), koooo_tae

The Shelf x Shelf x Self table is both a table to work on and storage furniture as it was designed to have plenty of shelves. Underneath the table surface are tiny shelves where you can put your work supplies so they’re within easy reach. And if you place it in the middle of the room or not propped against the wall, you’ll be able to use all sides of the table to store your supplies, stationery items, devices, and other items you may need as you work.

The legs of the table are also designed to be shelves so there’s more room for storage. Here you can put things like books, decorative items, funko pops, vinyl albums, flowers, even food that won’t spoil. It really depends on you what you want to put in there, whether you want the shelves to be design-focused or if you want them to be more functional and have items near you without having to get up every once in a while while you’re working.

The Shelf x Shelf x Self table is made from white birch plywood and uses an oil finish. The renders show a more wood-like finish although if your aesthetic is more white or dark, that can also probably be done. It’s a pretty big piece of furniture, especially if you want to maximize the entire table for all its storage spaces. If you don’t want to use the table top for working, it can also be used as a storage and display area. This is actually perfect for me that has a lot of stuff, except that I may not have enough space in my place to fit this in with its 900x1800x755 dimensions.
