"Parallax" shelving system

Knowing by statistics that the person we love is 72,8% water, we believe reality is defined by perception.
Can we design perceptions and make someone love 86,2% aluminium?

Designing  objects  that  interact  more  actively  with  our  perception  through  the  parallax  effect  we  can experience when moving around them, was one way to try.

To eliminate bookends, we introduced slopes on shelves, this was the starting point to explore the use of oblique lines to enhance the parallax changes in our personal perceptions.

This modular shelving system is both a mobile shelf as well as a room divider allowing a flexible use on both sides. It is a 100 % recyclable product made of aluminium.
