It seems that many designers understand shelving units as wall-adjacent objects, but the Stella Revolving Shelf does not demonstrate such a constrained consideration. Constance Guisset has created a storage system that can be quite delightfully positioned in the center of a room. This piece is light, visually permeable and affords access on every side.
Six stacked ledges make up the Stella Revolving Shelf: these are held together by a framework of three thin metal rods that penetrate each of the circular surfaces and terminate at the broad, uppermost one. Grab hold of any of these components and gently spin the unit around. If you should decide to that you would rather place Guisset's design in the corner, you can at least rotate it to discover the items stashed towards the back.

Trend Themes
1. Centered-shelving - The trend for non-wall-adjacent storage units poses an opportunity to create centered-shelving systems that provide visual permeability and easy access on all sides.
2. Revolving-shelves - Revolving shelves are becoming more popular as people seek out unique and flexible storage solutions, creating opportunities for designers to create new iterations of the classic storage system.
3. Thin Metal Framework - Thin metal rods as framing for shelving leads to light, visually permeable structures that offer varied access and exposure to stored items, allowing designers to create new products and storage systems that take advantage of this innovative technology.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The trend for non-wall-adjacent storage units opens up opportunities for furniture designers to create innovative and unique shelving units that provide more flexible storage solutions to consumers.
2. Home Decor - The popularity of revolving shelves presents an opportunity for home decor companies to add unique and practical storage solutions to their product offerings, appealing to consumers who value both form and function in design.
3. Metalworking - The use of thin metal frames as structural elements in furniture design opens up opportunities for metalworkers to create new and innovative products that are lightweight, visually permeable, flexible, and functional.
