as4 modular shelving system
September 14th, 2006 Category Furniture, Furniture Systems
The beauty of this system speaks for itself. As you stand before it, the quality of the materials and the level of craft become immediately apparent: Shelves and drawers of solid hardwood, dovetail joint construction, solid steel structure. But what’s less obvious is also what truly distinguishes this system: its versatility.
A broad selection of components is available in a variety of sizes. All components fasten securely to the standards, and may be positioned or adjusted at two inch intervals. The AS4 can be reconfigured, added to, and taken with you when you move. Beyond it’s expected application as shelving and storage, it’s been used as home office, audio/visual center, retail fixtures, commercial workstations, kitchens, closet/dressing room fixtures, server racks and wet bar.
Another unique level of versatility is evident in the ease with which this system can be customized. Custom sizes are available for any component, as are materials and finishes outside of what is stocked. Beyond that, custom components such as lighting, beds and seating can be made to suit any application or need.
We invite you to use the as4 Builder, our web-based interactive design tool, to take your first steps toward the world of possibilities afforded by the as4 modular shelving system. The as4 Builder was recently given an honorable mention in the interactive category of I.D. magazine’s 2006 annual design review.
All of Atlas Industries’ furniture conveys a unique presence which reflects the background of it’s principals, Thomas Wright and Joseph Fratesi, as designers and builders. They are aware of, and interested in, the fact that before anyone uses a thing, it must be made. And that the character of all built and manufactured things is the product of an interaction between the designing and the making. This understanding has given their work its identity. Work that shows the builder’s hand as much as the designer’s, and celebrates the role and importance of craft.
