Advent Shelving

This storage system is based on ADVENT, the physical record keeping of progress. The system is composed of 24 closed storage bays concealed behind a surface of multi-colored doors. Functionally, an opened door falls exactly against its companion, allowing access to the books behind.

As the client retrieves books over the course of her day, the opening of doors within the system becomes the ADVENT of her work. This is reflected not only in the transformation of bays from surface to volume, but in the shifting of colors as the doors relocate.
