Abstract and Amazing: Geometric Shelves Create Stunning Modern Displays

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!

  • Lago Vista

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.
