Custom Minimal Metal Shelving

MINIMAL SHELF | CUSTOM METAL SHELVING FOR A PALM JUMEIRAH VILLA

METAL FABRIK FABRICATED THIS FULL-HEIGHT METAL SHELVING UNIT FOR A PRIVATE VILLA ON PALM JUMEIRAH, DUBAI, WITH E+A STUDIO AS DESIGN CONSULTANT. SET INTO A PALE WALL BESIDE THE LIVING AREA, THE UNIT PAIRS LONG HORIZONTAL SHELVES WITH SLENDER BLACK UPRIGHTS. THE UPRIGHTS DIVIDE THE SHELVING INTO BAYS OF DIFFERENT WIDTHS, ALLOWING BOOKS TO SIT IN LOW STACKS WHILE LARGER OBJECTS HAVE A BAY OF THEIR OWN.

THE FRONT EDGES OF THE SHELVES PRESENT A SLIM, CONSISTENT PROFILE ACROSS THE WALL. SEEN FROM THE SIDE, EACH SHELF HAS ENOUGH DEPTH TO DISPLAY A BOOK FACE OUT OR GROUP SEVERAL PIECES TOGETHER. THE JUNCTIONS BETWEEN THE SHELVES AND UPRIGHTS ARE VISUALLY DISCREET, SO THE EYE FOLLOWS THE HORIZONTAL LINES ACROSS THE UNIT. THE PALE WALL REMAINS VISIBLE THROUGH THE OPEN COMPARTMENTS,
