THE NEW JDS SHELVES HAVE HIT MUUTO STORES

The latest edition to the JDS design family is a brand new selection of shelves produced buy the world renown Danish firm, MUUTO.

They have a specific aim...how to be specific and generic at the same time?

Shelving systems tend to achieve either one or the other concern, but never both. We decided to dimension shelving units based on the generic measurement of things to store and display while allowing for them to be combined according to specific needs and requirements...the result can be a random stack of boxes or a coordinated grid of efficient storage....or both!

The ‘stacked’ shelving system provides a conventional storing system with an unconventional effect. Only a little clip assembles a set of cubes and creates an unusual, but personal and practical set-up. Shifting over the balancing point, some cubes get counterweight by other cubes.

Wider and more storage versus compact and efficient, the stacked set reacts organically to every space it’s fitted into.
