It might not be as heartbreaking as saying goodbye to a pet, but no one wants to see their plants die—it's a sign of failure. And since using a device that reminds you to water them is useless if you're never home, this simple set of shelving will serve as your horticultural assistant, keeping your plants watered—and…
Storage can be so boring sometimes—but not if you're friends with Stockholm designers Erik Olovsson and Kyuhyung Cho, because they've decided to create a shelving system that resembles the shape-sorter toys we all used to play with as kids.
We've all been there: you've got your hands on some lovely timber or such to fasten to your wall and put stuff on, only to find that all the brackets you can buy are dog ugly. So, designer Sylvain Willenz decided to make brackets that come with shelves included, instead.
There's a case to be made—recently by designer Martino Gamper (and me)—that shelving is the most personal piece of furniture you own; a functional place to store your stuff that also puts it on display, like you're curating own little curio exhibition. The Room collection, by Kyuhyung Cho and Erik Olovsson, might be…
I don't often have emotional reactions to shelving units, but cripes—these pics from Design is a State of Mind, a new exhibition at London's Serpentine Sackler Gallery, are just about perfect. Storage systems are often stuck in the shadow of the stuff they're displaying, but, here, a handful of perfect specimens get…
How many times have you looked for something in a dark corner of your apartment and hit your head on the edge of a shelf? Probably more than you can count. Alex Allen Studio's Lightbrackets solve the problem (plus a few others) by doing double duty as a lamp and a weight-supporting mount for shelves.
No one ever wants to consider the possibility of a fire ripping through their home. But you always prepare for the worst, and with this Urban Shelf your tiny potted cactuses and various knick-knacks have a safe way to escape the flames. For $98, it also doubles as an impromptu set-piece for living room productions of …
Designer Andy Martin's gorgeous glossed shelves may look sophisticated, but their art actually just dressed-up versions of the stacked brick block shelving he and his peers used to assemble in their college dorms.
How many times, while assembling Ikea furnture, have you stripped out a screw hole, lost piece of hardware, or finished the project, only to realize that the whole thing leans to the left? What if assembling (and reassembly) merely consisted of a few stategically-placed rubber bands? Enter the Gummitwist shelf.
Don't let your digital media have all the fun playing on clouds, let's store our physical books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and magazines on a cloud too. I did hear this cloudshelf has nearly a 100% uptime. [DesignTorget via NOTCOT]
This spartan shelf contains all your traditional iPhone/iPod touch docking essentials and little else. Speakers, dock, axillary out—that's about it, with the caveat being it's also a wood shelf capable of supporting about 55 pounds.
Why hang up multiple shelves for keys, knick knacks and whatever else, when you can combine them all into one supershelf? Dubbed the "Mexican Army Shelf", this multi-faceted shelf concept attempts to answer that question.
We've seen more than our share of Tetris-themed furniture, but these new concepts by Brazilian designers Diego Silvério and Helder Filipov may be the first to actually make some level of sense.
Billing itself as interactive furniture, this Daywriter/Nightwriter functions both as a shelf and a dry-erase board. It also seems like a great way to make passive aggressive notes towards your roommates look vaguely artistic.
We'll sit on a good sofa over a great armchair any day, but we'd definitely make an exception for the Bibliochaise, literally an armchair library for those who like to be "immersed in deep reading". It can shelve five linear meters worth of books, so the question is would you put the books you love into it, or the…
