The Magnetic Spirit shelving system is a concept design from Benoît
Bayol and Christophe Bricard. Lying somewhere between carpentry and
Cubism, it uses a patented magnetic fixing system to allow the creation
of different layouts – and to change the layout at will depending on
your mood at any given time.
There are four separate parts to Magnetic Spirit. All are made from hot-treated lacquered steel that is 100 percent recyclable.
The bases make up the background, canvas, or picture frame
depending on your point of view – there are four different designs which
can be pieced together to form original and unique geometric shapes.
The components are the shelves themselves, which come in a
variety of sizes, both with closed-in and open designs. Each one can
carry a maximum of 16 kg (35 lbs). The skins are the patterns which are available to decorate the surrounds of the components. Finally there are accessories such as a coat hook.
Magic Spirit is merely a concept at present, with the designers having
no immediate plans to take it into production. However, their website
features a catalog, as well as a design tool allowing you to forge your
own creation. The video below shows the thinking behind the concept.
