A client recently approached us with a custom request: they needed a set of custom shelving units tailored to integrate into their shop's fit-out. The project called for a total of four bespoke shelves, each designed to fit specific areas within their retail space.

Our client provided us with a collection of reference images and design ideas. The envisioned shelves were to feature a variety of decorative elements, including valve heads, brass pressure gauges, and reclaimed wooden boards with a weathered, aged look. These details were crucial in capturing the industrial, vintage aesthetic the client wanted to achieve.

Before beginning into production, we created a set of technical drawings and visual renderings. These were made to ensure that every shelf would not only fit within the designated spaces but also align with the client's design vision. Once the designs were finalised and approved, we moved forward with the manufacturing process, bringing the client's shelving units to life.

This project presented us with an exciting opportunity to explore new shelving design options.
