What’s new: Maze’s Phatagoras brackets
The triangle shape holds surprising significance, at least if you ask mathematician Pythagoras or Swedish design brand Maze.
WHAT DO SWEDISH design and ancient mathematics have in common? At least one very clever philosopher: Pythagoras.
The Pythagoras shelf system, designed by Swedish designer Gustav Rosén, is based on the famous mathematician’s triangle theorem. Since our editorial team is heavier on design knowledge than math skills, we’ll leave the theory to those wiser than us. But this much we know: those triangle-shaped brackets aren’t just stylish – they’re the very backbone of this shelving system.
In the Pythagoras shelving system, the triangle can be turned in multiple ways.
Can you spot the difference? The familiar triangle form remains but the size has grown.
The Phatagoras shelf brackets are a full 10 millimetres thick.
Say hello to Phatagoras – the bold big sibling of the beloved Pythagoras series. Just like the original bracket, this newcomer is built around the iconic triangle shape but it takes the proportions to a whole new level.
Where Pythagoras charms with its light and airy look, Phatagoras makes a statement with its bold, solid presence. It’s sturdy, striking, and definitely not one to go unnoticed.
The thick metal bracket adds structure and presence to both private homes and public spaces alike.
The Phatagoras brackets are sized to fit Pythagoras shelves and drawers, but can also be paired with your own shelves if you prefer.
Phatagoras wall brackets give you the freedom to create shelves of various sizes, colours, and shapes in any space. Use them and shelves sold separately to build a single wall shelf, bedside table, corner shelf, set of kitchen drawers, or a large shelving module covering an entire wall. Only the sky’s the limit – or well, maybe just the ceiling, walls and floor!
The brackets give you the freedom to design your shelving system exactly how – and where – you want it.
The wall brackets can be mounted either below or above the shelf or drawer in four different positions, and their airy design leaves room for blank space as well. Play, experiment, and create the perfect shelf for your own needs!
