MX is the result of an exploration into shelving system design and sheet metal fabrication. The pattern on the side panels is a prominent visual element and forms the rails for the shelves, a part of shelving which is often overlooked and hidden away. Instead here it is celebrated, without sacrificing modularity.

Shelves or other components can be easily be inserted in a range of positions and at a range of angles, allowing for endless expansion of the system. Whether it supports standard, flat shelves, angled display shelves, clothes rails and so on. MX can be fabricated entirely from a sheet material such as Mild Steel or Aluminium and is easily assembled with Stainless Steel components and a hex key.

It is a product which becomes a durable, adaptable storage and display system, minimising its effect on the environment by being useful for as long as possible. The system can easily be re-purposed or re-organised in the future to change to the needs of the user. Being shared or sold on and re-used increases the lifespan of the product and keeps it away from waste streams for as long as possible, increasing it’s sustainability through the principals of circular design.

This project formed the basis for the M Series.
