Sponsored by B+N Industries
This course will discuss a modular, wall-mounted, and freestanding shelving system that has quickly become a modern classic in retail stores, hotels, offices, and other commercial applications. The system provides the perfect background for shelving, signage, space definition, and product display, while also providing hidden and accessible storage. With a range of design options in finishes such as fabric, metal, or wood panels, light boxes, and power integration, these modular systems can be specified to match virtually any brand’s aesthetic. The course will examine the history of modular shelving systems and explore the components, design options, and applications for the product.
