Popcorn Atelier unveils sculptural shelf inspired by grapevines

07 Apr 2025 CW Team

Popcorn Atelier, in collaboration with interior designer Sumessh Menon, has unveiled a distinctive sculptural shelf that merges art with function. Inspired by the organic flow of a grapevine, the piece redefines conventional shelving by becoming both a utility and an artistic centrepiece.

Measuring 6’0” x 1’2” x 7’0” (H), the shelf makes a bold statement with its signature spiked profile and a carefully balanced mix of plywood, solid wood, leather, and liquid metal. This thoughtful fusion of materials adds both visual depth and tactile intrigue, offering an immersive design experience.

Rather than being just a storage unit, the shelf is conceived as a conversation starter. The interplay of textures evokes a rhythmic, almost conversational quality, echoing the dynamics of social interaction. Its sculptural form—sharp yet interconnected—mirrors the energy of human dialogue.

Whether placed in a home or a commercial setting, the Grapevine Shelf invites curiosity and engagement. It exemplifies Popcorn Atelier’s mission to transform everyday furniture into expressive, emotive design. The piece stands as both a functional object and an artistic narrative.

Popcorn Atelier describes the creation as “a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and pushing the boundaries of conventional design.” They add, “This sculptural shelf is not just a storage solution; it’s a narrative in itself, an art piece that speaks to those who encounter it.”

With this launch, Popcorn Atelier continues to blur the line between interior utility and fine art—crafting pieces that spark conversation, elevate spaces, and redefine how design is perceived.
