I have recently been in touch with Chris Ferebee, who has kindly allowed me to share with you some of this innovative furniture design, under the microscope today is the H2 Shelving System.

The organic shelving alternative uses seperates pods, allowing it’s uses to construct the shelves to their own needs and requirements.

The Product:

Chris Ferebee from FiveTwentyOneDesign has created the Hive H2 Shevling System.

“Each module can be bought separetly allowing one to build a system to suit their needs. The combinations are endless.”

The manufacturing prcoess is also quite innovative; “This technique uses a unique combination of bent aluminum and walnut veneer, creating an ultra slim design yet maintaining strength and a high-tech look from the aluminum core which is complimented by the warmth of the veneer. “

The Designer:

“An artist as well as a designer, Chris Ferebee divides his time between furniture /product design, photography, mixed media and graphic design. Self-taught in all these disciplines, Ferebee was born in Virginia Beach in 1971 and grew up a part of skateboard and surf culture where he takes much of his inspiration. Along with punk and post punk music/graphics, and artists like Rauschenberg, Twombly, Beuys and others, with interests in science and technology, Ferebee’s work is as eclectic as his varied influences.”
