A floating shelf is a form of shelf with its wall fixings hidden within the shelf board, with no visible supporting brackets. It is believed that late 1950s contemporary designer Magnus McCormick invented the term floating shelf, however it is unclear if he was the inventor of the shelf itself. Floating shelves are a good fit for a contemporary minimalist style interior, creating a sense of open space while still providing an area for display. They can also be used to expand storage space, or inside a hallway to double as a console table. A floating shelf can be supported on hidden rods or bars that have been attached to studs. A thick floating shelf may be made of a hollow-core shelf glued to a French cleat. A floating shelf may have two or more channels open from the back towards, but without reaching, the front, into which slide fasteners are attached to the wall, typically held in place by screws inserted through the bottom of the shelf. Depending on the thickness of the floating shelf t-brackets can occasionally be used to distribute the weight of the shelf and fit securely within drilled holes with the aid of an anchor to provide additional support. There are also corner shelves, which may use different supports to make them “float.” Floating shelves are often not suitable for carrying heavy loads, since the short vertical distance between their fixing points towards the wall gives a relatively large torque from the shelf loading compared to the holding power of the screws against the wall. Nevertheless, they came into vogue during the rise of interest in Lucite and other transparent decorative furniture, to add an ethereal aspect to the more brutalist qualities of minimalism, and have remained a popular option ever since.
