Strait Shelves

This bookshelf is inspired by the waves of Bass Strait. The shelves are representative of the turbulent sea, the movement of each one slightly different. The dividers symbolise buoys at sea, being tossed around in choppy conditions. Simon’s intention was to create a bookshelf with an airy appearance and without the bulk of traditional bookcases, thus requiring less timber. It can be used against a wall or as a room divider.
