Astro Display Shelf 2

The shelf that shows exactly how it stands. And makes that the most considered detail in the room.
There are shelving pieces that conceal their construction and there are shelving pieces that celebrate it — that treat every joint, every notch, every junction of materials as an opportunity to show the quality of the making rather than hide it. The Astro Display Shelf 2 was designed to celebrate. Four fluted white ash uprights — vertical reeds running the full height of each column — hold four open shelves in the same warm ash, each one notching into the fluted columns at a visible joint and cantilevering slightly beyond with softly rounded corners. At the top, a frosted glass surface sits within matt black cross-bracket connectors at each corner — the translucent glass giving the piece its lightest moment, the black connectors giving it its most precise.
White ash carries the fine grain and natural warmth of honest timber through every element of the shelf — the fluted uprights casting their own quiet shadows at every hour, the open shelves displaying what is placed on them against the consistent warmth of the same material. The frosted glass top gives the Astro a surface distinct from the shelves below — cooler, lighter, more considered in its translucency — while the matt black bracket connectors celebrate the junction of glass and wood with the honest precision of hardware chosen for how it looks as much as how it holds. A display shelf designed in India, for the home that understands the most considered pieces are always the ones that show their work — and make the showing worth looking at.
