Trendy Furniture: Modular Tetris Shelves

The game of Tetris has inspired many designers throughout the years. These Modular Tetris shelves are another practical influence of the hugely successful puzzle game. From Brave Space design, the Tetrad Flat Shelving is a set of ten colored pieces in the popular shapes of the game.




The shelves are made of wood, although their backings are entirely metallic. The blocks can be simply spread individually around your apartment, hung on a wall, or connected together to form a bookcase. You can arrange them in any way you like and use them for storing CD’s, books, magazines or any other objects that you have lying around your house. The finish is said to be stain resistant and easy to maintain. We found out that the set has a rather steamy price. You can get this ten blocks set at $ 1500 or an upgraded version for $2000, a sum that is not too high considering the creativity of the design and the endless possibilities in which you can use the Tetris blocks.

East Meets West Zodiac Clock

Behind the ‘East-Meets-West’ wall clock by Kit Men stands a creative design idea: the blending of two cultures. From far away the two separate clocks seem to have some incomprehensible art forms on the margins, but as you see the product up-close, this changes and the zodiac characters are visible and clear.



This is exactly what the designer himself intended: “up close each zodiac symbol is clearly visible, the dual-time function is clearly apparent with the symbols of the Chinese zodiac on the left depicting time in the East while the symbols from the zodiac on the right presenting the time in the West. Moving further away the image begins to transform from zodiac symbols to classically intricate picture of decorative motifs”.The clock comes in two versions so you can choose the one that goes the best with your interior. The dimensions 35.5 x 81.3cm are medium, so establishing a place for this modern clock will not be an issue.

Shelving Only When You Want

What is ingenious is the ability to flip up all the shelving and keep them out of the way especially in a long narrow corridor when you are moving heavy things through it.

Large blank wall? No problem. Fill them with shelves so you can artfully display and store your things. But if you could also rearrange shelves without having to remove and reinstall the units all the better. Sebastian Errazuriz’s clever Repisa N5 allows you to do just that because you can bring down selected parts of the shelving unit. Change your mind? Just move them back up and pick another section. Or if you’re a pack rat, flip all the shelves down for maximum use.
