FOLD

This open shelf with a construction that creates a beautiful pattern of light and shadow shows off the delicate design pursued in each step of the manufacturing process. Alternately placed boxes make the shelves look like they can be “folded” together. Its accessibility from all four sides gives it a perfect use as a partition in a spacious area. Made with Japanese Oak. Available in different size configurations.
