What you see here are these things called Algues. Each algue is a plastic “branch” that can easily clip on to other algues to form wall hangings, room dividers, sculptures, etc…They’re really pretty neat and would add a different sort of texture to an interior.

(Each plastic algue’s dimensions are about 9″w · 1.5″d · 12″h)

available in white, black, green, or red

I suppose this is meant for a nursery, ’cause that’s what it says on the site, but really I’m thinking it could be for any room that you need storage.
