SH05 ARIE Shelf

red dot award: product design 2009

The variable SH05 ARIE shelf characterises the playful design language of the designer as well as the conceptual design approach of E15. At first the design appears casual; on closer inspection however, the functional concept of the shelf becomes visible in the systematic order of its elements. The clever display component of the shelf provides a beautiful way to singularly present individual books or objects. The invisible structural elements of the shelf enable it to be used as a free-standing room divider or as a traditional against-the-wall unit. The shelf also comes in an alternative sideboard height.
