If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary then you should probably forgo the ordinary flat shelves for curved shelves. London architect Zaha Hadid uses black marble and granite to create something, smooth, flowing and contemporary.
Truly breathtaking modern furniture is hard to come by these days. When a piece like the Tela comes along it tends to turn heads, due to its strange and powerful look. The shelf unit looks like it is made up of many different pieces, but is actually one solid piece of granite carved into multiple levels.
The shelving unit is three levels, but looks like it’s one continuous flow from top to bottom. The flow of the Tela shelving unit makes it an iconic piece of modern art and a functional piece of contemporary furniture, perfect for any modern home.
