Regalsystem #1470
Knoten als funktionale Verbindungselemente
Description
Knots have accompanied humans as tools and aids in everyday life since ancient times.
Today, however, a wide range of substitute products exists, making knots seem obsolete. Yet knots represent a simple and sustainable solution for various connection requirements and can be created with nothing more than hands and rope.
The shelving system #1470 makes knots visible again as simple yet highly functional connections. The focus is on the Blake’s Hitch, also known by the number #1470. This friction hitch from maritime practice securely holds the shelves in position and allows for stepless height adjustment. Additional knots provide stability and expandability. Through ropes and knots, the shelving system is flexible, modular, and adaptable to a wide range of spatial situations. #1470 demonstrates that knots can be used as reliable connecting elements in industrial design far beyond their conventional applications.
