Maigrau, the German design team of Alex Stamminger and Nik Back, has just launched new products at the Blickfang design fair in Stuttgart where they received a gold award. Line is a minimalist tray that functions as a shelf, singly or in multiples to create a wall installation. Split is an equally zen fruit bowl of laser cut aluminium, all angles and geometry.
Very minimalist, I like it! Though I'm still more a friend of wooden cupboards :)
This reminds me of some silly feng shui rule that bookshelves slice the chi. Well, if that's true, then those shelves are the Ginsus of chi-slicing, hah. Slick!
However, it bugs me that it's not quite flush with the wall. I understand that the point is to keep from totally butchering your wall, but it just doesn't look intentional.
