Ferm Living's Flying Shelves are an "exercise in perfect balance"
Danish brand Ferm Living has collaborated with Chinese furniture designer Mario Tsai to create a series of "flying" shelves, which seem to be mounted without the use of any fixtures.
After meeting Tsai at the Greenhouse section of emerging designers during last year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, the brand decided to collaborate with him for its new collection.
"Sharing our interest in working with basic elements and simple, geometric shapes, meeting Mario Tsai at last year's Greenhouse felt like a natural fit," said the brand.
The Flying Shelf collection consists of a small series of two black, powder-coated metal shelves that utilises cylindrical and spherical fixtures to keep it suspended.
Both these elements are drilled into the wall. The thin shelf then rests atop of the cylinder, while being held in place by a small screw on the bottom of the sphere.
As these supportive elements disguise themselves as decorative features, the shelves look as if they are flying ? with Ferm Living describing them as "an exercise in perfect balance."
"A shelf can be more than storage; the Flying Shelf of powder-coated metal with a geometry-inspired mounting is a little piece of art," said Ferm Living.
"It's a display of balance and geometry with distinctive elements, each playing their role in the design. The geometric pieces are both the mounting and vital parts of the seemingly flying expression."
The cylinder and sphere are available ...
