The 'Xanxan' shelf platform is designed with the ability to hold items in an unorthodox manner to create a somewhat playful storage solution that can be placed on any wall. Designed by Luis Herram, the 'Xanxan' shelf consists of pegs that are intended to be placed on a wall at a specific width apart to instantly enable users to tie ropes across them. This creates a somewhat passive storage solution that is a playful option when it comes to storing items of several varieties as long as uneven stability isn't a cause for concern.
The 'Xanxan' shelf platform is ideal for holding books, as a rack for magazines or as a spot to store essentials without having to rely on traditional furniture.
