All furniture utilizes glue, pegs, screws or nails in order to be held together, but the Multi Tier Shelf takes a different approach by doing away with the need for fasteners of any kind.
Designed by Ammar Kalo, the shelf works by simply being held together by interference between the various shelves and the legs. This makes use of physics and gravity in order to keep the unit standing, and also to create an aesthetic that's truly simple in design.
The Multi Tier Shelf features shelves with holes that allow the legs to pass through them that have been anchored onto the top shelf. From here, the shelves are kept sturdy by simply relying on the pressure created by the legs that stand strongly in place.
