Inspired by “the playfulness of the big top” industrial designer Stephen Burks, founder of the New York studio Readymade Projects, created a hand-made shelving system. Burks – considered to be one of the most recognized American industrial designers of his generation – is with his studio responsible for creative direction and industrial design on projects ranging from retail interiors, events, packaging, consumer products and lighting.
The idea is simple; each unit includes up to eight steel, colorful, wired cages that can plugged in easily into the oak surfaces. This makes the shelving unit is easy to (dis-)assemble without any tools.
Circus, manufactured by Mattermade, is available in a 1, 2 or 3 shelves edition.
