Planophore Shelving Unit from Barber Osgerby

Classes: Furniture + Lighting

British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have created a shelving unit with Mid-Century overtones—that may at some point fee as a 21st Century furniture classic. Planophore, which will take its name from an 1871 airplane model, is a four-shelf system created for Vitra, comprised of solid wood horizontal planks and vertical movable panels of aluminum, each and every component given gently rounded edges meant to mimic the form of airplane wings.

The unit’s novel feature resides in its vertical panels, which pivot at various angles to function as book ends when totally vertical, as backdrop for displayed objects when turned at an angle, or as solid privacy screen or room divider when placed parallel to the shelves.

Accessible in two widths and dark or light finishes, Planophore, which created its debut in Milan earlier this yr, and will star for Vitra at up coming month’s London Layout Festival, has the clean geometry and visual flair of 20th Century shelving classics like Charlotte Perriand’s Nuage series or the popular Eames storage units—but manages to make a handsome, modern, and contemporary statement all its very own.
