Why am I posting a 2 dimensional grid?
I'm not.
The scatter shelf is composed of 5mm black acrylic shelves in a grid form, stacked in three layers and slightly displaced. The resulting shelving unit is not only structurally strong but creates a visual effect in which objects placed on the shelves appear as though caught in a spider’s web when viewed from the front. When viewed on an angle, the glossy acrylic face creates a series of reflections within the shelves, making the ‘opaque’ acrylic appear to be transparent. The diffused reflections caused by the surfaces’ shine and form also separates and scatters the view behind the shelving unit, creating a completely kaleidoscopic effect.
Gorgeous stuff.

Wow, wow, wow if this isn't beautiful. A perfect example of how tubular framing doesn't have to mean Bauhaus.
Photos stolen from Museo Della Sedia. Pay the original source some love because I'm worried that compression is going to ruin some of the beauty here.

Percival Lafer is quickly becoming one of my favorite modern designers. All his stuff looks so... not-European, for lack of a better word. No clue how it is south of the Equator, but there's very little discussion of him here. These chairs are one of many designs of his I've found reading through Percival Lafer: Design, indústria e mercado . Above pic is one I took with my phone so sorry if the quality is abhorrent. I haven't got a scanner here.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION Tubular chrome-plated steel frame with plastic-coated gridded sheet for seat and back. Frame composed of a pair of straight stiles, curving back slightly at the top, and a single length of steel running from the foot of both legs, around the sides and back of the seat. The seat and back are each composed of a length of plastic-covered ("Soflex") grid (with rounded lines), arching slightly upward from side to side.

I love these things. Using plastic coated steel mesh as a flexible seat is so ingenious, especially in the late '70s.
