Acrylic Shelving Unit

Ultimately, users don’t need the shelves themselves; they essentially need something to put things on. People want to listen to music, not the player itself. The Acrylic Shelving Unit interacts with the user through its functionality and unique appearance, attracting their interest and presenting the value of the product itself. 

In order to stimulate the user’s curiosity, the potential of the material beyond our expectations was drowned out, and it was used effectively in the product. Kerfing is a laser cutting technique to make hard materials flexible, normally used for woodworking. It was discovered that it also works for acrylics, and it makes acrylics stronger. A variety of kerfing patterns were tested more than 20 times on acrylics with different thicknesses to make it the most flexible and durable.

The strange look of this shelf and its material usage make the user consider what to put or display on it. This consideration would turn into a negotiation between the user and the product, and users are going to be much more conscious of the product. Even though ot has the maximum load capacity, users would still be careful about what to put on the swinging shelf tops because both the material and the shelf don’t behave in the way acrylic and regular shelves behave as expected.
