Corners by Nendo is a furniture design that addresses the fact that although people might like to display or store their possessions around the home in a chic way, many are now looking for a unique way to do so. Instead of picking up the first piece they like at their local Ikea, this shelving design offers something not only stylish and practical, but different as well.
Inspired by the corners of a space, hence its name, Corners by Nendo takes on the form of a three-sided cube box that can be joined in various directions. Design Milk writes, "The stacking of various sized cubes not only serves a functional purpose, but an aesthetic one as well, allowing the user to create interesting patterns and combinations. Its compact size also ensures a comfortable fit beside the bed or sofa, or lined up against a wall."
