Sharon Romang's Tetris Shelves are Fun and Reconfigurable
Michael Hines — October 15, 2010 — Art & Design
Gamers have been waiting their whole lives for Tetris Shelves to come along. These shelves were designed by Sharon Romang and are completely reconfigurable.
You can stack the four blocks that comprise the Tetris Shelves set anyway you'd like. Now reconfiguring the furniture in your house can be a fun and creative task instead of a boring chore. I can't wait to see these shelves in Ikea someday soon.
Implications - There are few pieces of shelving I've ever seen more stylish or comic. There's a certain level of power and style attached to some gimmicky commodities. I'm sold. Call me when it's in stock.
