Sebastian Errazuriz’s Repisa N5 shelving unit is a full wall-mounted piece that you can totally make on your own out of wooden panels. The Repisa N5 allows you to pull the patterns down into a shelf position or flip them up as wall decoration.
These units are great for entertainment systems, libraries and living rooms.
Implications - The minimalist movement that has taken over all facets of the design industry is a symbol of consumer's boredom with chaos and adornment. In today's fast-paced world, one can't be bothered by decorative conversation and is likely to seek something more straight to the point. The same can be said with interior design pieces, creating an attraction to all things minimalist.
