Background
A modular shelving system with integrated textiles, inspired by traditional Scandinavian construction techniques.

From Construction to Furniture

From Construction to Furniture is a modular shelving system focused on design for disassembly and sustainability. Inspired by Scandinavian construction techniques, the project explores how traditional construction principles can be translated into contemporary furniture design. The system combines wood with an integrated, replaceable textile that adds warmth, tactility, and flexibility in use. The solution is designed to extend the product’s lifespan and support a more circular approach to furniture.
