26 Benson Saw/Design Products 1+1=3 Aimed at people who work at home or in small offices, this shelving system demonstrates how two shelves can create three separate spaces. The shelves �eintersect�f to create the third space between them. Each shelf is made of aluminium sheet, punched and formed to create the frame of the shelf. An injected-moulded tinted acrylic is inserted in the middle of the frame to support the construction. This system has the potential for users to further organise their things through numerous and customisable spaces. It is as flexible as a books and files organiser as well as a free-standing �ewall�f. The project is based on observation in Habitat�fs office.
