Transforming Stark Walls into Joyful Art Spaces
The new pieces are called "Corniches," a French word meaning "ledge." These minimalist storage items offer a casual place to set down or hang small objects.
Designer Ronan Bouroullec explains, "Just as we might hang our belongings or clothes on a protruding rock before entering the sea, we need small, flexible, informal storage in our daily lives." These are not mere protrusions, nor standard shelves, nor built-in horizontal ledges; they are interior elements imbued with the designers' philosophy.
Crafted from high-quality plastic, they are available in three sizes with distinct forms, and in three colors: white, Japanese red, and black.
They can serve as a rack for keys by the entrance, a simple shelf for small items in the bathroom, a small display for cherished objects, or as part of a larger wall installation, dramatically transforming the character of your walls.
They are scheduled to be exhibited and sold at hhstyle.com Aoyama Main Store starting in late November.
