BOX SHELVES • ZURICH

---

This minimalist shelving unit is an example of approachable strategies to sustainable design. The modular system features three horizontal tiers of open-compartment storage, constructed from repurposed wooden boxes.

The upcycled wood boxes retain their original character, with visible grain patterns and natural color variations that celebrate the material's history. This approach to materiality aligns with circular economy principles, recognizing the value of existing discarded materials.

Thanks, Enzo Mari.
