About the Item
The Skeleton Shelf is a striking modular shelving system that merges art, design, and natural metaphor. Inspired by the image of an animal skeleton slowly returning to the earth, Julius Esser captures the poetic tension between decay and renewal. Each shelf is composed of precisely cut aluminum plates arranged in a seemingly organic yet refined structure—an elegant reflection of nature’s graceful disintegration.
Reinforced with interchangeable back plates that add both stability and visual depth, the Skeleton Shelf evolves from a functional object into a sculptural statement. Its modular design allows for custom configurations, making each installation unique and tailored to its environment.
A compelling blend of industrial precision and organic form, the Skeleton Shelf embodies Esser’s signature aesthetic: raw, intelligent, and deeply connected to the cycles of nature.
Below is a video of Markus Zippenfenig presenting Julius Essers first solo exhibition at the former mills silo building at Hengermalom, Budapest.
