broken shelves
'broken shelves' provide a more natural way of shelving books since they can lean. books of any size find a perfect spot, while the reader can sit among them. A sandwich construction of two steel frames and mdf plates inbetween offer a freestanding shelf family. The steel gets a soft tactile surface by sandblasting and a wax-coating. The black mdf is oiled, which brings out a paper-like feeling. The shelves can be transported as a flat-pack and easily self-assembled.
