“阶梯”书架，灵活组合的多功能设计

“阶梯”系列书架由许多简单的矩形书架组合而成。这些矩形书架看起来像是从中间被切割开，并顺着垂直方向轻微移动。新的移位设计在降低了常规水平书架的张力的同时，还使每个书架都可以作为放置在相邻书架上的书的挡板。如果将它们想象成房屋的话，那么普通的水平书架就像是公寓楼，而“阶梯”系列书架则更像是一个在不同楼层之间有着物理联系的错层房屋。

A collection of shelving units that are based on simple rectangular bookshelves that appear as if split in the middle and shifted slightly vertically. The new shifted design relaxes the tension that exists in regular horizontal shelves, while an additional benefit is that each shelf can also function as a book-end for books placed on the adjacent shelf. The thought process can be compared to houses; the existing horizontal shelves are similar to apartment buildings, while the step shelf is more like a multiple-floored house, where there are relationships and physical connections between the different levels.

书架的悬臂结构对搁板的硬度和粘合强度都有着较高的要求，而高密度中纤板（MDF）的使用让搁板的厚度仍然可以保持在12mm。每个书架都不需要螺丝来固定，因此可以很容易地拆卸或更换。书架被设计成三种不同比例和尺寸的基本单元，并有黑、白、灰三种颜色可供选择。用户可以根据自身的偏好和特定需求来将书架模块化组合使用。

High rigidity and adhesive strength were required for the shelf’s boards due to their cantilever structure, however their thickness was still kept as thin as 12 mm with the use of high density MDF. Each shelf is fixed to the structure without screws and therefore can be easily removed or replaced. The units were designed in three different proportions and dimensions and offer three colour finishes in black, white and grey. Matching units can be modularly combined and used together according to the user’s preferences and specific needs.
