Know before you buy
Yes, the Freeway is designed for both wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted configurations. When ceiling-mounted, it can effectively serve as a sophisticated room divider to define spaces in an open-plan layout.
The system is highly modular, allowing you to arrange the pillars, shelves, and containers to suit your specific storage needs and wall dimensions. You can adjust the placement of components to create a balanced, asymmetrical, or strictly functional display.
Both finishes are embossed lacquered steel, which provides a textured, matte appearance. The titanium finish offers a cool, dark metallic tone, while the bronze finish provides a warmer, richer aesthetic that complements the bronze glass accents.
The containers are modular elements that can be integrated into the Freeway structure. You can customize your configuration by choosing the number and placement of these containers alongside the standard open shelving.
Given the precision required for wall or ceiling mounting and the weight of the steel components, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure the bookcase is securely anchored and perfectly level.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner for the bronze glass. For the lacquered steel and wood components, a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth is sufficient to remove dust without damaging the embossed finish.
