XYZ Studio Shelf

XYZ Studio

The XYZ Studio Shelf joins high design with low impact in a radically flexible approach to furniture. 

The system can assume any number of shapes for display or storage based on a small set of reusable components. The overall shape can be easily modified to explore design alternatives, or adapt to new spaces or needs. A user may, for example, raise or lower the height of a bookcase, re-imagine it as a side table, or adapt it for use in a completely different space. In this way, the XYZ Studio Shelf is durable not just in materials and construction, but also through its design for radical flexibility. 

The immediate result is a system ideal for people seeking adaptability in their home, work, or retail environments. Additionally, because it replaces bespoke, single-use storage with a system of parts with limitless future relevance, the XYZ Studio Shelf reflects a degree of resource efficiency–and environmental sustainability–rarely encountered in contemporary product design.
