Abstract and Amazing: Geometric Shelves Create Stunning Modern Displays

ByMyProperty Life

A beautiful modern home is as much about ergonomics as it is about aesthetics. It is the balance between the two that makes its pleasing on the eye and efficient as well. Space-savvy décor and smart furniture that multi-tasks are often a big part of this. But there are times when you look beyond the larger furniture pieces turn your attention towards smart shelves and displays that make a huge impact in the living room, bedroom or even the family room. Modular and wall-mounted shelves have made our lives far more easy and elegant in the last two decades. And design technology has allowed us to create entirely new designs that are eye-catching and even artistic!

Modular shelves made from fiberglass add a unique focal point to the interior

We love shelving units that usher in a dash of geometric contrast to a modern interior that is dominated by clean, straight lines. At times, it is curated and understated curves coupled with sleek design. On other occasions it is captivating, abstract forms that steal the spotlight in pretty much any room they adorn. Here is a trio of such exquisite modern modular shelves with charismatic geo flair –

FAVO: More Like Modern Art!

We absolutely love wall-mounted, modular shelves that draw attention with their sheer form and few do that as brilliantly as FAVO designed by Imperfetto Lab. What is special about these honeycomb-styled shelves is the fact that they leave the color scheme of the room largely unaltered. With their abstract curves and unexpected form, FAVO shelving units can be used pretty much anywhere and you can either add just one to the small bedroom wall or create an entire display in the living room with multiple units. FAVO brings a certain eclectic charm and modern minimalism together in a seamless fashion; a rare blend indeed!

    Architects: Augusto Fernández Mas (K+A Diseño),
    Mauricio Miranda (MM Desarrollos),
    Mariel Esquivel and Cesar Cardoso. Construction: K+A Diseño Main Purveyors: MicMac, Solesdi y Venster. Interior decoration: TAI Arquitectura de Interiores Photography: Onnis Luque The linear black cabin was designed by the collaboration between Augusto Fernández Mas and Mauricio Miranda as a country house for a client with three specific demands: simple layout, low maintenance, and living quarters and public areas in one floor. RA.L7 is located within Rancho Avandaro Country Club in the outskirts of Valle de Bravo, an hour and a halve drive from Mexico City. It is a project that portrays a strong character form the outside but at the same time invites passersby to enter. In the inside, it offers a warm cabin like feeling that through its simplicity and windows facing the golf course, guides the view to the outside. The lower concrete volume ads a sense of solidity and stability to the house, and its layout divided by a garage open on both sides provides an invitation to enter. [
    The project uses the topography of the terrain to its advantage, thus generating two volumes: the upper one which encloses the living and general public areas and the bottom one encompassing the garage, technical and service areas. The outside materials are Japanese style burnt wood (Shou-sugi-ban), Canadian darkened wood, concrete, and ceramic tiles (roof) that in turn evidence the simple lines of the design. The choice of materials demands close to null maintenance.
    The west façade, which faces the street, has dark wood symmetric divisions over the main interior hallway, creating privacy at an angle and almost unrestricted view when perpendicular to them. The purpose is to allow light into the house and permit the views to the equestrian club on the other side of the street while maintaining limited exposure to passersby’s. The east façade faces the golf course, thus there is an honest openness through all glass façade with sliding window doors and complemented with a glass-roofed terrace. In attention to the requested simplicity in the layout, the linear internal distribution has four rooms laid in a sequential manner culminating with living—room, dining-room and kitchen. One dramatic hallways communicates all areas in a straight line, adding to the simplicity of the design layout. With over 650 square meters of inside space, only one internal staircase was employed to communicate with the service areas and garage. There are two accesses to the house without stairs for the owner to comfortably access. In total, the terrain is 2,200 square meters of which ___ square meters were used for the house.
    There is a comforting feeling of warmth inside, but the same time opens up to go and enjoy the outside. It is to be lived inside wanting to be outside and, once outside, feeling invited to be protected inside. The linear and simple geometry of the house is soothed by the layout of the wood beams on the ceiling and the elegant and at the same time rough aspect of the wood floor and wood paneling on the walls. RA.L7 house is one of two recent projects done by the collaboration of Augusto Fernandez and Mauricio Miranda in Rancho Avandaro. Augusto Fernandez, through its K+A Diseño firm, is an active architect and constructor in Valle de Bravo with several country homes competed in the last years. Photography is by Onnis Luque.
