IwamotoScott designed, directed fabrication for, and assembled this hybrid bookcase/screenwall that acts as edge and interface between their own office and the larger offices and headquarters of creative agency, Obscura Digital (also designed by IwamotoScott and completed in 2010). The wall is made from 186 laser-cut white powder-coated five-sided folded sheet metal modules. The modules are suspended from 32 laser-cut light gray powder-coated sheet metal vertical ribs that are anchored to the floor at the bottom, and mounted with beam clamps to a structural wide flange beam at the top.
