Continental Shelf

Brand Laker
Designer Laker

A modular shelving system, consisting of a number of components designed to attached to a slotted metal rail fixed to the wall. The Continental Shelf was borne from the need to create a system to fit within a range of dimensions in order to take the place of static, in built joinery. Conceptualised to function across two key bay widths, Continental is configurarable towards a broad range of functions in both residential and commercial spaces.

Laker selected a narrow palette of either American Oak or Walnut as available options, enabling Continental to synchronise with lighter, brighter spaces, as well as more moody applications.

Beyond the range of shelving and joinery options, Continental also provides options for integrated desks in order to convert the assembly to a small workspace, either permanent or temporary.

Enquire with Laker about your requirements and we’ll help you understand more about Continental and how it can work for you.

About The Designer

Laker began as a series of conversations between two friends, David Caon and Henry Wilson. With different approaches to the business of design, Caon and Wilson found common ground in the objects they are drawn to and the design philosophies they share. Over time, those conversations took the shape of tangible products that continue to evolve through necessity, following what could be described as a common-sense brief.

Ultimately, Laker is a reflection of the discoveries of its founders and the spectrum of experience informing their work—Caon, an industrial designer with a background in large-scale commercial projects, and Wilson, a furniture and industrial designer exploring the juncture between the rational and emotional.

Laker combines intelligent, sustainable design with a respect for the impermanence of contemporary living. The thinking here is that good design should incorporate the changing needs and environments of its user, and that products should be made to last, rather than to be replaced.

The underlying logic is to solve the problems that matter to Caon and Wilson. This philosophy brings sincerity to the creative process while also maximising the opportunity for experimentation and improvisation. A product is never complete without a stint in a working studio or working home, a litmus test for validity conducted by the designers and their friends.
