The Mod Bolla 8 Pop Shelf Features a Cluster of Circular Compartments

— October 12, 2013 — Eco
It could be argued that conventional rectilinear storage systems are much easier to produce than more abstract ones; however, the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf is an example of an unusual unit with quite a logical setup. The playful piece features circular holes for stashing your stuff and the assembly process will certainly not make you sweat.

David Winston's design incorporates sections of very thin but durable tubes that are set into two panels of wood composite material, pre-cut with round holes. One can put these ten eco-manufactured parts together quickly without a problem. Additionally, the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf can accommodate the arrangement of flat ledges so to best support items like books and pieces of art.
Trend Themes
1. Abstract Storage Systems - Innovative designs like the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf are pushing the boundaries of conventional storage systems by incorporating abstract shapes and structures.
2. Eco-manufactured Parts - The use of eco-friendly materials in furniture design, as seen in the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf, is becoming increasingly important as consumers strive for sustainability.
3. Customizable Shelving - The trend of customizable shelving, exemplified by the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf's ability to accommodate different arrangements of flat ledges, allows for personalized storage solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers have the opportunity to explore new materials and designs inspired by abstract shapes and eco-friendly principles, as demonstrated by the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf.
2. Home Decor - The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of customizable shelving by offering innovative storage solutions that cater to individual needs and preferences.
3. Sustainable Design - The use of eco-manufactured parts, such as those used in the Bolla 8 Pop Shelf, presents opportunities for entrepreneurs and designers in the sustainable design industry to create innovative and environmentally friendly products.
