Ron Gilad designs shelves that seem to float in metal frames
New York-based Israeli designer Ron Gilad has added a modular shelving system and an oval table to his TT furniture collection, which features surfaces that appear to hover unsupported within a metal frame.
The original TT series, designed by Gilad and launched by Italian design brand Adele-C earlier this year, comprised
a collection of low tables with thin metal frames containing removable wooden surfaces that are attached using
magnets.
TT stands for Tray Table, and Gilad described the design as "a hybrid between the idea of a tray and that of a coffee
table."
The TT3 shelving system is an expanded version of the tables and consists of tall single columns and a corner unit that
can be combined in any configuration, with shelves bridging the gaps between them.
Magnets inside the walnut shelves and located at intervals around the painted steel frames allow the shelves to be
positioned where required and subsequently moved around.
Each shelf can support a weight of up to 15 kilograms and features a chamfered edge, like a typical serving tray,
that enhances the lightness of its profile and makes it easier to lift off a flat surface.
The surface of the oval table is also made from walnut and the table can be combined with the other tables from
the original TT series.
