A collection of shelving units that are based on simple rectangular bookshelves that appear as if split in the middle and shifted slightly vertically. The new shifted design relaxes the tension that exists in regular horizontal shelves, while an additional benefit is that each shelf can also function as a book-end for books placed on the adjacent shelf. The thought process can be compared to houses; the existing horizontal shelves are similar to apartment buildings, while the step shelf is more like amultiple-floored house, where there are relationships and physical connections between the different levels.
这是一款由简单矩形组合而成的书架单元。从外观上看像是一个完整的书架从中间被分开，其中一半书架在垂直方向上进行了微微移动。这种创新的移位设计减轻了常规水平书架中存在的张力。另一个好处是，每个书架还可以充当相邻书架上的书挡。设计的思维过程可以比作房屋，现有的水平书架与公寓楼相似，而带有位移的书架更像是多层房屋，不同楼层之间相互关联，产生了物理上连接。
High rigidity and adhesive strength were required for the shelf’s boards due to their cantilever structure, however their thickness was still kept as thin as12 mm with the use of high density MDF. Each shelf is fixed to the structure without screws and therefore can be easily removed or replaced. The units were designed in three different proportions and dimensions and offer three colour finishes in black, white and grey. Matching units can be modularly combined and used together according to the user’s preferences and specific needs.
搁板的悬臂结构要求其具有较高的刚度和粘合强度，同时使用中密度纤维板可将其厚度保持在12 mm以内。书架不采用螺钉而是使用灵活的结构来固定隔板，因此可以轻松卸下或更换。这款书架拥有三种不同的比例和尺寸，并有黑色，白色和灰色三种颜色可供选择。每个书架单元可以根据用户的喜好和特定需求进行模块化组合。
