For a designer, even a staircase can be sexy
Folio is a spiral staircase where all the main features are embedded in a single module: there is no difference between form, structure and aesthetic, the iteration of the monolithic fiber-reinforced composites step, designs a spiral curve in space, the force line of the staircase. Each component supports the previous and the next, the only variation would occur in the top and bottom pieces that connect to landings.

An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.

Twin Fins Bookshelf by Perfekte Velle Design
Dimensions of Individual Unit (WxHxD): 24” x 3’-3” x 10”
Handcrafted at our shops in San Francisco and Brooklyn, these beautiful shelves are handmade out of laminated Latvian birch. They display seamless joints, a beautiful edge grain and perfect curves. They are sanded smooth with no varnish or stain extenuating the natural wood grains.
They work beautifully in most decor from modern homes to the brick lofts and concrete walls of Soho. The Little Waves cast elegant shadows and can be arranged in a variety of ways to create a unique look or feel.
