By making it a glossy black wall, it reflects the sight and gives out mysterious continuity.
There is no metal joint. Just bottles that are stuck in the shelves. Lighting fixtures are embedded in the shelves (thickness 18mm) to light from below. There are many beautiful things and fun things around us. Ingenuity is the key. The Japanese Sake bottles support the world's liquors as shelf structure.
