Designed by Chris Martin, Massproductions' Gridlock is a high-quality utilitarian shelving system made from solid FSC-certified ash wood. Its shelves can be customised according to your needs using a simple yet clever fixture. A key feature of the design is that the shelves can be placed in strict grids, promoting a sense of order in your home or office. The shelves and side panels lock in place simply, leading to the name 'Gridlock' for the shelf.

Gridlock's shelves wrap-around the vertical elements, creating a harmonious shelving wall with continuous horizontal lines. The system includes clever solutions with fittings specifically designed to simplify assembly and enhance functionality: Once the shelf is slid onto the back fixings it should settle onto the front bolts with a satisfying 'clunk-click' action. This easy and smartly designed assembly enhances both the practicality and durability of the product. Thanks to its minimal and timeless design, the system integrates seamlessly into any space, serving as an architectural element rather than just a piece of furniture.

The M1-A4-0-D configuration is an ideal way to create an instant home office, offering ample shelving for storage. This configuration includes four shelves and a desk, complemented by two essential side panels. Component positions can be adjusted to your desired height, and you can also purchase individual parts to further customise or change your system here.

Chris Martin on the design - "It may look simple, but it took a few years to complete Gridlock: We had to ensure that all connections and details were functional, find the right production method, and verify that the system could be easily assembled by customers. Additionally, we wanted it to accommodate features that will be added in the future."
