Hardwareless Shelving System
I exhibited the shelving system at the NextFab2 Preview Party on April 19, 2012, where I took this picture. This exhibition motivated me to produce some new components I had designed.
The arrangement here shows new diagonal cross-members which can be used to replace the full back piece. From a manufacturing standpoint, these greatly reduce packaging size, overall weight, and total materials cost. They also enable the unit to expand from side to side when incorporated with other "sides" or upright members.
NextFab Studios is a technology resource shop in Philadelphia which offers classes in various cutting-edge technologies and where members can use their state-of-the-art machine shops to produce their own work.
