HENNY VAN NISTELROOY

A shelving system developed as part of a retail design commission for Velorution, a specialist bicycle shop in central London. Due to its subtle elegance and great flexibility to display both objects and garments, this shelving system is ideal for either public or domestic environments. The cantilever system works by simply hooking shelves one above the other into the frame, resulting in a display that can be changed by the turn of a hand.

Douglas fir, sheet metal (powder coated)
Shelf size: 55x32cm
Posts: made to measure

DAVID WEATHERHEAD

Simple arrangements of shape and colour swing back and fore, bringing together clock dial and pendulum. Made from screen printed balsa wood, the material of toy aeroplanes finds flight in the interior landscape. The space perhaps once occupied by a case style pendulum clock rich with ornamentation, finds a modern interpretation that’s been mallowed out to play, and swings freely with joy.
