Made out of interlocking wooden boards, the “fold” shelving unit by Nendo is oriented in different positioned angles. Debuting at Spazio Pontaccio during Salone del Mobile in Milano, the system uses the superior craftsmanship of Japanese manufacturer Conde House, making the joints appear seamless—as though single boards have been bent and interwoven like paper chains or a woven textile. Looking at the shelves, it seems virtually impossible to know how the parts are connected. |

continuous life, Lumio provides beautiful lighting on the go and stows
away compactly when unused. |

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’re probably familiar with the project that Frank Chimero successfully launched on Kickstarter last year for a book that he wanted to create simply called The Shape of Design. The topic isn’t new for Frank as he’s spent many years writing and speaking about it, whether it be at the front of a classroom or at one of the many design conferences. The Shape of Design’s much-anticipated release is coming the second week of May and can be purchased here. |
