Prop is a minimalist shelving system designed by Lausanne-based studio BIG-GAME for Karimoku New Standard. Prop is a line of shelving and storage units consisting of different sizes of low boards/ TV boards and sideboards. The design is built on the bold, L-shaped side modules that give the shelf great stability while reducing its parts and creating its characteristic appearance. The well-conceived proportions and details, with easy-to-use, removable sliding doors, make PROP well-suited for storage and display in living rooms, hallways and offices. Prop is crafted from sustainably sourced Japanese oak wood and looks as beautiful from the back as it does from the front.
