Space-Saving Floating Shelves

'Circulum' is a Floating Shelf Desiged to Optimize Storage Space

— May 25, 2017 — Art & Design
'Circulum' is a chic and minimalist space-saving floating shelf designed by Raketa, a Slovenian architecture design company.

Hanging shelves are typically prone to basic design flaws, primarily the spillage caused by their inevitable swinging. 'Circulum' aims to combat this while maintaining the shelf's aesthetic as well as its structural needs. A pendulum-like weight was added to the bottom of the shelf providing it with added stability.

Chic and space-optimizing furniture designs are in high demand after seeing an increase in younger generations opting to rent smaller apartments, as opposed to buying houses. Offered in various colors and materials including hardwoods, metals, leather and marble, the floating shelf is a perfect space-saving solution for any apartment.
