Flowerblock Shelf

Chinen Mizuki Shelf Furniture Wednesday, 15 April 2026

Flowerblock

Flowerblock is a shelf designed to serve as both storage furniture and a room divider. The design is inspired by flower blocks, concrete units with geometric openwork patterns used in Okinawan architecture, which filter strong sunlight while letting air pass. Gaps between the boxes give the shelf a light and open appearance.

The shelf has no back panel, so it can be placed against a wall or in the centre of a room.
