It all begins with a cheap industry material called galvanized iron sheet. The unique way of adapting the flexibility and strength within the material creates a shelf that demonstrates the essential relationship between material and structure. Meanwhile when "warm" and "strong" wood is to support, and "cold" and "flexible" metal is to be touched, the material stereotype has been broken in this design.
