Integrated design studio Beauparlant has announced the launch of a series of wall-mounted shelves designed to be adaptable and flexible to a variety of environments. They will be exhibited at the Interior Design show in Toronto January 19-22, 2017 in Studio North, booth #NS20.

Originally designed as part of a custom kitchen for a private residence, the wireframe shelves were used to improve the visual sightlines of the space. “I wanted to create strong horizontal lines in a galley kitchen where the upper cabinets were interrupted by various windows and clearance requirements”, says Beauparlant principal – Philippe Beauparlant. The thin frame structure of the shelves reduces the visual mass and brings a sense of elegance to the space. This adapted version of the shelves as a stand-alone product is improved with non-directional lighting and natural oak surfaces.  

The wireframe shelf is designed for various residential or commercial applications. The 12x12mm frame profile could be finished in a wide range of colours and the wood shelves fabricated from laminate oak are oil finished for a natural texture and colour. Beauparlant is currently welcoming possible manufacturers.
