Estantes.... sim, estantes!

Opus incertum shelving unit by Sean Yoo



The inspiration for Opus Shelving (2000) came to designer Sean Yoo during a trip to Pompeii. While walking through the streets of the archaeological site, the designer was struck by a Roman wall-building technique known as “opus incertum,” which is characterized by a distinctively erratic combination of blocks. Yoo went on to observe this layout of elements elsewhere, from dried-up lake beds in the deserts of Las Vegas to the sidewalks of Los Angeles. He took this familiar pattern and adapted it into shelving that’s made from 100% recyclable expanded polypropylene – the same material chosen for motorcycle helmets due to its light weight and durability.

Mydna Bookcase
- by Joel Escalona




Inspired by the DNA structure, this piece of furniture is trying to tell you that, the books you like, the music you have, the photos you store, and all that knowledge you have define a significant part of your personal identity. MYDNA can be on several colors and in two presentations: Static MYDNA, which is one single structure perfect for dividing rooms at home and Rotating MYDNA for easy access to books and more objects you put on it.
