Throw everything you thought you knew about shelving out of the window before you check out the Ivy Shelf. Swedish designer Thomas Bernstrand has designed a shelving system that is wonderfully customizable and functional.
The Ivy Shelf is actually a set of shelves that can be stacked upon one another to form a crooked or straight shelf. Personally, I prefer the crooked version of the Ivy Shelf. I love it when designers can turn ordinary and often boring pieces of furniture (cough, shelves, cough) into eye-catching conversation starters.
