UNIT SHELF

Creating New Markets and New Standards

Nimbari Kosakusho has been producing custom-made sheet metal furniture for a wide range of B-to-B business scenes, from infrastructure to public spaces and amusement. The new system unit shelves were developed to meet these needs in terms of function, design and price, while taking advantage of the high level of flexibility cultivated through this experience to develop new markets such as retail shops, small offices and residential spaces, and to provide standard products that can be accessed by a wider range of people.

Beautifully Aligned

The shelf is the result of a number of trials in which the elements and noise elements were reduced to the absolute minimum. The simplicity of this shelf is what gives it its character. A unit shelf that is strong enough to hold all kinds of books, products and spaces, yet light enough to make them look beautiful. The seamless design, with the high precision that only Nimbari Kosakusho can provide, will fit in well with both personal and public spaces. With 99% of the product made from sheet metal, this is a new standard in unit shelves.

Designer's voice

The strength of Nimbari Kosakusho lies in its one-stop manufacturing environment, which enables speedy and flexible manufacturing. They also call themselves "a group of sheet metal working experts", and their knowledge and skills in sheet metal working are nothing short of amazing. Cutting, bending and joining sheets. The question was how to make a 15mm-thick, ultra-thin unit shelf within such a limited construction method. The result is a unit shelf like no other. When seeing the finished product, it is no exaggeration to say that they are a group of sheet metal craftsmen.
