DESIGN NAME: Giulia Shelf
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Storage Shelf
INSPIRATION: My girlfriends hair, which is as curly and messy as it comes!
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Very few, if any storage shelf in the design industry promotes the concept of "messy-ness". My design promotes and even invigorates the concept of messy placement. Stack anything you want in whichever way you want and it will accentuates the design even further. The geometry of the shelf is confusing and the user should be as confused and as lack of direction as the shelf intended. The shelf has also a unique loop geometry where the internal structure is inlaid with artificial turf. Like some elliptical green garden in your house, it promotes confusion within the stacking order of your "stuff". Artificial turf does not need to be confined to walls and floors but also furniture itself and messy-ness can be held in a higher regard. This is the unique quality of my design.
