The design draws on direct and complementary structural elements, reminiscent of scaffolding found at construction sites. Its form references the traditional Korean furniture piece Sa-bang Tak-ja, noted for its simple structure and clear negative space. The shelf gains structural stability as each part interlocks, gradually forming a cohesive whole.
