CODE Modular Shelving by NANA BAMBUCH for ZEITRAUM

Part of the Within4Walls Collection since 2009

This very light and elegant modular shelving system includes several interesting design codes.
The aesthetic of the shelf is based on graphical structures borrowed from the cladding of Modern architecture. The innovative sandwich construction results in a very thin and stable shelf unit without visible construction elements. Although the system's outer form is simple and traditional, the differentiated interior of fixed compartments in varying dimensions shows an exciting contrast. They can accommodate a wide range of articles - files, books, DVDs, CDs etc - and make the units ideal for use in all living quarters, the kitchen, office or atelier.

There are 4 different Code units. Each can be used as a self-contained shelf unit or can be linked together through invisible magnets cleverly positioned within the shelves' MDF structure. Each modular unit is supported by adjustable aluminium feet.
Code is constructed of 10mm anthracite MDF, which is then veneered in a choice of white laminate or oak, black stained oak or american walnut veneer. The facing edges of the units are always kept 'open' showing the anthracite MDF.
