The scatter shelf is composed of 5mm black acrylic shelves in a grid form,
stacked in three layers and slightly displaced. The resulting shelving unit
is not only structurally strong but creates a visual effect in which objects
placed on the shelves appear as though caught in a spider's web when viewed from the front.
When viewed on an angle, the glossy acrylic face creates a series of reflections
within the shelves, making the 'opaque' acrylic appear to be transparent.
The diffused reflections caused by the 'surfaces' shine and form also separates
and scatters the view behind the shelving unit, creating a completely kaleidoscopic effect.
Nendo will show the new piece at
Carpenter's Workshop Gallery in London during the Frieze Art Fair,
and Friedman Benda in NY from November 10th
