Nendo’s Carbon Fiber Bookshelf Stretches To Any measurement You want

here is something which is happened to everybody. you’ve got acquired a pile of books just sort of placing out, looking like a bomb went off. so you come to a decision to purchase some shelves for them. you purchase a wonderfully sized shelving unit, arrange your books on the shelves with care—then quick ahead three months, when your e book collection has exploded again, and your perfectly sized shelving unit has proven comically inadequate.

Enter japanese design firm Nendo, who simply hit the 2015 London Design competition with this killer shelving unit. referred to as the Nest (no relation), this carbon fiber shelving unit stretches like taffy to accommodate any space, and as much stuff as which you can throw at it.

In essence, the Nest is a matryoshka: a nesting pair of tremendous skinny shelving units. by way of default, these units are folded together right into a inventory three-shelf configuration, however which you could double and even triple the amount of cabinets and cupboard space available to you just by pulling the Nest by means of the edges. Then, it folds out just like an accordion, providing you with three to six more shelves to store issues on, depending on the way you configure it.

It truly is a clever concept, and because of the truth that the Nest is bolstered with carbon fiber, the shelves remain robust enough to deal with a number of weight even when they’re stretched skinny in a 3×3 configuration. extended absolutely, the Nest is four.25 feet extensive, but can be compressed down to just half that measurement.

if you want to see it for your self, the Nest can be on show at Somerset home as a part of the Ten Designers in the West Wing Exhibition, happening on the London Design pageant’s Somerset house next week from September 21 to 27.
