is a reinterpretation of mid-century modernist shelving, taking cues from designers who treated storage not as background furniture, but as architectural sculpture. Inspired by that era’s modular logic — clear grids, repeatable units, and playful cut-outs — this piece brings the language into a contemporary, Samak Laban vocabulary.
Instead of the strictly geometric openings used by modernist designers, the unit incorporates characters that resonate with us: the moon, the fish, and the seed form. These motifs are worked directly into the structure, not added on top, giving the shelf both function and identity. The result is a system that feels familiar in its proportions but unmistakably ours in its expression.
Built in solid painted wood, the shelving unit maintains clean lines and a balanced presence. Its modular construction allows it to sit comfortably in living rooms, retail settings, cafés, or entry spaces — anywhere a storage piece is expected to contribute visually, not disappear.
The cut-outs interact with light throughout the day, gently shifting the shelf’s profile and creating soft shadows that animate the grid without overwhelming the room.
