Terrace Wall Shelves

Terrace is a set of 3 contemporary wall shelves whose designs reference hillside farming practices employed in mountainous regions of the Far East and South America. The shelves aim to be functional art, with the ‘terraces’ carved from the wood to form sweeping contours that impart a striking, sculptural elegance. Their designs introduce a new aesthetic typology that offers a compelling and novel alternative to standard shelf form factors, which are often flat and linear. The use of terraces also creates 'platforms' at different heights, which allow objects to be displayed in a unique way.
