Modular Shelving by Erik Olovsson & Kyuhyung Cho

We are used to placing things in square orrectangular spaces. Rectangular shelves make it easy to organize and display objects of different shapes and sizes, but thinking outside the box (literally) can be original and unexpected. Designers Erik Olovsson and Kyuhyung Cho were interested in exploring the relationship between an object and the space it resides in, ultimately creating modular shelving as a unique home for the objects that “live” there.ROOM modular shelving unitsThe Room Collection modular shelving units consist offrom 25 separate wooden blocks with recesses of various geometric shapes. The system resembles a children's construction set, from which you can build houses, castles and other structures. The principle of the furniture system is exactly the same - you yourself create a rack, cabinet, shelf or simply an original sculptural composition for your interior.shaped modular shelving unit ROOMIf we put all the elements of the system together, thenyou get either a tall modular shelving unit or an elongated open cabinet with many different geometric voids. Each block was inspired by some object, for example, the zigzag block was conceived by designers for tablets, smartphones or books, the house-shaped block is for wine bottles, the block with a triangular base is intended as a bookmark for an open book. But the options are, of course, not limited, and a specific user can define the purpose of each shape in their own way. The process of arranging objects in the system becomes like a puzzle that challenges both aesthetic and practical considerations.shaped modular shelving unit ROOMThe blocks are made of pine wood, polished andcovered with colorless varnish. The natural texture of the wood is clearly visible. Such modular shelving will look good in a room with natural materials, on a floor covered with parquet boards or ceramic tiles. And in terms of style, furniture made of blocks will fit into any modern interior.shaped modular shelving unit ROOMshaped modular shelving unit ROOMROOM modular shelving unitsshaped modular shelving unit ROOMshaped modular shelving unit ROOMshaped modular shelving unit ROOMshaped modular shelving unit ROOM
