Mushroom Shelf by Shota Urasaki, Bronze A' Design Award

Furniture Design Mushroom Shelf by Shota Urasaki Mushroom is a shelf designed for the free display of everyday objects. Each mushroom form is hand-carved one by one from Okinawan camphorwood and embedded with a magnet. The mushrooms are attached to a thin steel plate that rises from the floor, so each form can be positioned freely. Large mushrooms hold various items, while small mushrooms hold postcards or memos. The base combines bent steel plates with plywood. The design was inspired by mushrooms growing on a wooden sign, and its appearance changes with each user.
