Secret Cubic Shelves

Product
Secret Cubic is a set of highly distinctive shelves designed by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson for Moroso. A result of the artist’s intensive, decades-long engagement with geometry, the shelves are derived from a stackable rhomboid module that has featured in his oeuvre since 2015 (itself inspired by works of Einar Thorsteinn and R. Buckminster Fuller). To arrive at the geometry, two identical cubes are rotated along a common diagonal axis until the edges of both cubes are divided according to the golden ratio. Drawing lines where the faces intersect (and cutting away the rest) leaves you with a polyhedron composed of twelve triangular faces. The resulting shelves are shaped as much by the absence of form as by its presence, an intriguing construction which is as sculptural as it is practical. The Secrete Cubic shelves work well in both residential and commercial spaces, an artistic piece guaranteed to be a conversation starter wherever it is placed.

Variants
The Secret Cubic Shelves are available in two sizes and three colours. Please make your selection in the Size and Colour options above.
