The shelves are designed to occupy a space normally reserved for a framed images, and they act so as to frame compositions of everyday objects for use and display.

The cable tension allow the shelves to support heavy objects while the silicone pads create a self-securing system that grips the wall as the shelf becomes loaded. This also means that the shelf does not tilt to one side if heavy objects are placed unevenly.
