This furniture came from the inversion of an idea, which was to create a shelf that reminds us of a "drusas", typical formations of some mineral crystals in which the contrast between two materials, a hard base encrusted with other light and polished elements.
After the first sketches using wood as the base and the glass shelves, the idea of inverting the materials: using glass as support for wooden shelves.
From this process came the final design of the shelf cross, which for its transparency causing that the shelves seemed to float.
