Endless Garden Shelf by Haus Otto

About the Item

Endless Garden Shelf by Haus Otto Dimensions: D30 x W90 x H66 cm Materials: Brushed Red Oak Endless Garden is a modular shelving system which conceptually addresses the meaning of the word "Slow" in an ever faster changing world and deals with aspects of longevity, sustainability and deceleration. In contrast to today's big cities, which are characterized by industry and speed, rural regions can evoke an image of deceleration and tradition. The associative and playful approach to the motif of the fence as a symbol of a romanticizing idyll of home ownership creates new scope for interpretation, drawing on original and simple woodworking techniques. The fence as a symbol of our sedentariness thereby creates new spatial structures, demarcates, unites and redefines our human living spaces again and again. Endless Garden is based on a fragment of the fence that can be expanded through both vertical and horizontal multiplication to grow with and adapt to our spatial changes. The emphasis on the horizontal structure, through the interlocking connecting elements, thereby creates the impression of infinity. Haus Otto is a design studio that works in the field of object design and was established by Patrick Henry Nagel and Nils Körner in 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany. The Duo works for customers in economy and culture as well as on self initialised projects and has a hands-on and collaborative approach. While challenging assumptions, each project proposes pure and simple solutions which often contain a narrative aspect. Described as human made design the studio focuses on human sensibilities and shifts perception towards materiality, shapes and alternative ways of production. By facilitating a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments, the studio proposes transformative interventions and conceptionally investigates the ecological, technological and social context of design today.
