Learn more about the five-tier leaning shelf
The design for the shelf was drawn from the concept of leaning and the challenge of making leaning itself an interesting visual element. This led to the idea for demonstrating different leans with each vertical plank that would in turn meet the shelves with different kind of wood joints. The lean of front faced vertical board cut the half laps at increasing distances from the horizontal shelves, creating moments of overlap between the planes where objects placed on the shelves could be leaned against leaning board. Together these elements made for clever asymmetries based on leaning that is as intriguing as it is beautiful.
