Formal Shelving Configuration 17

Guided by its simplicity in form and function, the Formal Shelving system is constructed with seven simple components. The shelving system can be combined and scaled, even at varying heights to create a more dynamic assembly. Elevate the design with complements in the form of trays, magazine stands, and book supports.

The Formal Shelving system by kindred spirit and long-time collaborator, Jonas Wagell, is constructed with only two materials. Framing and supporting the slim shelves in brown stained oak veneer, a structure consisting of horizontal and vertical trussed poles in black powder-coated steel creates a sturdy grid with subtle joints.

The bevelled details on the end shelves add lightness to the design that can be combined and scaled, even at varying heights to create a more dynamic assembly. While offering a sophisticated storage solution, the system can be placed against a wall or as a freestanding room divider, creating structure and a visual attraction within larger interior landscapes.
