Barboure Unit

The Barboure Unit is a tall, narrow shelving piece from the Lemon Collection, executed entirely in polished stone.

Four horizontal white marble slabs span between vertical elements in lighter beige marble, the contrast between tones creating a quiet architectural rhythm. The vertical posts alternate between rounded and flat profiles, a detail that reads differently depending on the angle of approach. This variation gives the open grid structure a sculptural quality beyond its storage function.

The choice of two distinct marble varieties is deliberate: where a single stone would produce harmony, the pairing produces tension, the kind that holds attention in a room.

South African designer Kevin Frankental draws from design archives to find forms with long lives. The open grid shelving format spans centuries of furniture history. In the Lemon Collection, the Barboure Unit applies that archival thinking to stone, producing a shelving form that reads as both furniture and object.
