Glass discs shelving

Nendo, a Japanese design studio, designed a timber shelf system with circular glass discs that serve as doors. The design of the transparent glass discs have a beautiful handmade quality about them and have been inspired by 'the historical practice of cutting sheet glass from glass discs'. 


These discs can be moved when one uses the finger-sized 'handles' by means of slots in the shelve. The glass also has bubbles and depressions in the surface that help distort the objects you place on the shelves behind them.
