singapore-based industrial designer nathan yong has created two furniture pieces for italian manufacturing and production
company living divani. both the shelf and the stacking containers will be shown at the 2012 salone internazionale del mobile in milan.

the 'cut off' shelving unit plays with the possible vistas of the user. multiple wooden poles are juxtaposed, creating many vertical 
and horizontal interlocking pieces. to accentuate the edges, the shelves themselves are transparent planes of glass. the playful quality
of their assembly is further underlined with varying shelf heights.

'stack' is a collection of three containers of different depths. due to the detailing of the natural wooden legs,
the colorful receptacles fit one onto the other, saving space and hiding stored contents if desired.
due to their position, the raised stilts also act as handles for lifting the trays.
