The wave wall shelf is a product jointly developed with Plato Co., Ltd. Recycled artificial wood is a material made from a mixture of finely crushed recycled wood chips and resin. This product is carefully made by hand by the creator, taking advantage of the material's characteristic bending, connecting, twisting, and workability. Considering the undulations and twists that appear in the product's continuous curves and cubic curve composition as functions, we can prop up a book,hang a towel,stack cans,place a bottle,hang clothes,and display a flower vase. It is a shelf that can be used freely according to the shape.
