BARBER SHELVING
The Barber shelving was designed during my placement year for John Lewis and went on sale in January 2021. It was designed as part of the existing range to fill an identified hole in the market through trend & competitor research. Made from MDF, solid oak, solid rubberwood, and high quality American oak and American black walnut veneers, this product has a high quality feel at a more affordable price point.
The shape and size of the MDF panels have been optimised to maximise board usage and the materials and processes used in this product were optimised for factory production in Vietnam, in order to meet an extremely keen price point. All of these optimisation features help make this product successful for John Lewis, with 5 star reviews since its release.
The design of the Barber range is heavily influenced by Scandinavian design, but with a cool retro edge provided by the tapered legs. 2 slatted doors open to reveal a spacious storage cabinet at the base of the shelving, with display options supplied by the open shelves. Flat packed and easy to assemble, this shelving unit is perfect to make use of small spaces.
