Wall Shelf 01
- PRODUCT INFO
- DESIGNER INFO
This limited wall shelf by Japanese designer Nendo can be expanded by changing the position of the top section, as long as it's stabilised by blocks in the atached box.
Part of Nendo's Object Dependencies collection for Specimen Editions. This collection presents pieces of 'weak furniture' that cannot stand independently until they are made structurally sound through the addition of an object.
In addition to increasing stability, the accumulation of objects has other effects as well: they highlight the soul, the beauty, and the poetry of the pieces of furniture. Object dependencies is an exploration into new forms created by resetting the once-unquestioned relationship between furniture and objects.
