'amime' is the name given to a new build-your-own shelving system product by Japanese design firm andAssociates. The release embraces the growing necessity for storage spaces, as well as the consumer preference for customizable products.
amime utilizes steel as the main component of construction. While the silhouette surely satisfies functional needs, the arrangement of the product also guarantees an aesthetically pleasing appearance that is creatively strengthened by a sculptural element.
andAssociates' build-your-own shelving system provides consumers with a variety of options for assembly, including "knitted patterns, waves, and even steps." This allows for it to be quite adaptable to the limitations of a certain space, as well. amime is offered in a bright white, allowing for the product to deliver a minimalist aesthetic that will fit a wide range of interiors.
