Hone Shelf

by Pablo Vidiella

Project Description

Hone shelf is a magnetic and timeless design which arises as a reinterpretation of a conventional shelf through a conceptual transformation of the physical properties of the material. By doing so, the wood becomes conceptually elastic. The vertical supports stretch outwards to isolate the horizontal planes, strengthening the joints, providing and promoting load transmission and thickness optimization, giving fluidity and movement to the piece.
Hone Shelf interacts with the observer in a natural way. The human eye is more used to curved lines and surfaces, they have always been present in nature, they surround us. That instinct lingers in our animal subconscious, and the soft, natural forms give us pleasure and tranquility. Its attractive shape, together with the warmth of the material, makes the user to come closer, touch it, sit next to it. Hone Shelf is manufactured and tested using CNC technology and wood craftsmanship in Galicia, north of Spain. Hone Shelf is patiently crafted from the finest hardwood, such as iroko, oak or ash among others; hand-selected and sourced from certified, sustainable sources.
