Even if you don’t have the urge to snap this up and put it on display in your living room, surely you can find appreciation for the delightful design somewhere in your heart/head.

“Every book tells its own story. Every book has its own weight. By playing with balance, the See-Saw bookshelf visualizes the breadth of our home libraries.”

Walnut wood with powder coated steel parts.

shelf: 47.25″ x 9.8″ x 2″
stand: 13.75″

This provides plenty of inspiration to cover all available doors in cork. Not that you would, of course, want tacks stuck in all sorts of places, but it does liven up the possibilities for art in unexpected places. This credenza has worthy environmental credentials as well.

“Clean modern lines and a strong focus on environmentally friendly materials inform the Cork Credenza. The cork doors are made from the renewable bark of cork trees without harm to the tree itself. The cabinet utlizes rapidly renewable bamboo for the frame and FSC certified birch plywood for the interior (both materials are made with formaldehyde-free adhesives). The credenza is finished with low VOC topcoats for healthier indoor air quality.”

Chic, simple platforms for photos and accessories. Wood construction. Mounting hardware included. Bamboo veneer.

I posted this over a year ago, but I just found it from a US retailer so I thought it was worthy of a repost.

“With its ability to rotate every shelf to a new or different position, joy has a versatility that can be claimed by very few shelving units.

The upright and shelves are constructed of a honeycomb core with steel reinforcing inside and finished in a choice of bleached oak or wengé-stained oak or can be constructed of a medium density fiberboard with internal steel corner reinforcing and finished in scratch resistant embossing in a choice of various colors. the steel supporting joints are painted in a choice of black aluminum or graphite color.”

Out of chaos, order.

With oak wood construction, invisible hinges, and 4 adjustable and removable shelves, this storage unit looks like a steal for the price. I’m really quite taken with it- the intricacy of the doors makes it look like it should cost at least a few more handfuls of hundred dollar bills.

A different option in the world of shelving…

“wall-mounted polyurethane shelving from enrico baleri – a curved, but very angled shape.”

Made from environmentally friendly bamboo, this bookcase is just right for a long-term storage piece.

An accessory for the home inspired by mathematics, this shelf is really something special. Multiples on one wall would make a strong statement.

“Waveform is a shelving system inspired by mathematical representations of waves and pulses. A unique frequency and amplitude give this waveform its modularity and shape. Made of flat sheet metal, the shelving units seem to defy its own property by reaching out to hold your objects.”

If you are in the nick-nack set (no matter how modern), this little shelf would be a nice perch for a small collection.

New “flexible” shelving unit from Konstantin Grcic.

“Es is not stiff, but stable. Es stands behind its urge to move and still works. Although accessible from all sides, nothing ever falls out. However you move the shelf, the shelf levels remain flat and heavy loadable.”

Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

BeeBoard was developed as an ecologically low-impact solution as a way to quickly build mobile housing. As shelving it’s incredibly sturdy and light.

Now on sale.

We might have done a few posts on Susan Bradley before, but now her Creep Shelf is available through a retailer, so it deserves another look.

“Susan Bradley’s Creep Shelf takes inspiration from the way plants grow. The shelf features a rose bough that actually appears to be creeping up the wall.”

White glass powder coated steel.
