Glass Shelves "Cross" by Alva Design, Contemporary Brazilian Design

About the Item

This furniture came from the inversion of an idea, which was to create a shelf that reminds us of a "drusas", typical formations of some mineral crystals in which the contrast between two materials, a hard base encrusted with other light and polished elements. After the first sketches using wood as the base and the glass shelves, the idea of inverting the materials: using glass as support for wooden shelves. From this process came the final design of the shelf cross, which for its transparency causing that the shelves seemed to float. The organization of shelves in horizontal, interspersed with vertical supports, generates a pattern that further reinforces the of continuity and absence of physical limits. Two pieces.
