Rivet Shelving Unit
RSU-ID-006The Rivet Shelving Unit is a design exploration that celebrates the raw, industrial beauty of riveted construction. Inspired by the widespread use of rivets in metal structures—ranging from early skyscrapers to bridges—this shelving unit transforms functional joinery into a defining aesthetic element. Historically, rivets have been prized for their strength and durability, securing some of the most enduring architectural feats. This project pushes the exploration of rivet usage, reinterpreting it in a furniture piece where structure and decoration become one.
Rather than concealing the hardware, rivets are showcased prominently, creating a rhythmic pattern that enhances the design while maintaining structural integrity. Every connection is both purposeful and expressive, turning a traditionally utilitarian detail into an integral visual feature. The result is a shelving unit that balances strength and refinement, where construction itself becomes part of the design language.
