Makoto Yamaguchi’s shelf | inspirational image of the day

I’ve been staring at this shelf for a couple days now and finally decided it would be appropriate to end the week with it. That way I can go online and see it at the top of my blog all through the weekend.

Designed by architect Makoto Yamaguchi in 2009, the shelf possesses beautiful curvature – a rarity when discussing shelving -  and an extreme minimalist aesthetic.

It reminds me of Jantein Roozenberg’s beautiful shelves, with the shelf’s weight relationship to the object upon it: http://style-files.com/2006/11/01/dutch-design-week-2006/
