‘Crushed’ is a shelving system stemming from extensive material exploration into steel tube flattening. 

Tube flattening refers to the process of creating a flat junction in a steel tube, enabling the tube to be easily attached to a flat surface using welding or bolts. Crushed is a shelving system that takes advantage of this cost-effective process to create a unique inclusive design. The shelf is designed for effortless assembly, thanks to the flattened connections in the steel uprights that fit sugly into each shelf, creating a strong and visually appealing joint.
