'Interlock' by Tomek Rygalik for ABR

The Polish designer Tomek Rygalik created this modular carpet made from woven wool for the Spanish 2005-founded label ABR.

A single piece acts as a base in this model of carpet. The framework of the laterals represents a jigsaw puzzle. New pieces could be added longitudinally. Each piece is made of three different layers. Each layer has its own colour. That allows at least the use of two different colours with the outer layers.

The material of the carpet is completely new. Pure wool woven in a way it look alike felt. It is not conglomerated -as in felt. It has been woven with looms following a traditional Polish technique.

‘LSS Latten Shelving System’ by ABR

'Crate' by Martin Born

The Eindhoven-based designer Martin Born designed this modular shelf system which can be composed in full freedom of alignment and orientation.

'Crate' sytem by Martin Born

This three-dimensional predicate uncloses applications inaccessible to the typological wall-form: Choreographed “movements” and sophisticated access paths are as easily realised as more “ordinary” setups – without loss of use value. Together with a nuanced palette of colours, the system gives architects an immense freedom in elaborating and coordinating the storage piece as an active design element.

'K-Space' by 6a Architects, photo by David Grandorge

The London-based 6a Architects created this variable interior for the K-Swiss shop in London. Inspired by library archive storage systems the units which are made of perforated polished stainless steel cladding are specifically designed to combine display and storage and slide on tracks to reveal or conceal products.

“The brief was to produce a retail space that located new and classic K-Swiss products alongside other culturally related objects (CD’s, books…) representing similar brand values. The key function of the space was its ability to transform at a moment’s notice from a working retail space into an open, unbranded space for music or art events.”

'Soft Parcel' by TAF Arkitekter

The Swedish architects TAF recently unveiled their new upholstery collection they designed for the Italian gallery Rossana Orlandi in Milan.

Gabriella Gustafson and Mattias Ståhlbom, founders of TAF, asked themselves, what the easiest way to upholster a piece of furniture could be – Probably the way you wrap a parcel. Instead of using paper the architects wrapped the square foam pieces with high-quality fabric. The result is a serie of different sized soft modules – loaded on a trolley they even become an easy chair.

'Stickbee' by Andreas Wiehl

Andreas Wiehl is Munich-based artist, art teacher and self-proclaimed inventor. With ‘Stickabee’ he presents a smart modular system and provides hope that art classes don’t have to end with painting and pottery.

‚Stickbee’ is a modular furniture system based on the 60-degrees angle. Six basic elements are monted to a hexagon, with no tools required. Two or more hexagons connect via a pug-in module, namely the ‚pirat’. The resulting structure, similar to a honeycomb, becomes more stable with its size increasing, thus making gaps in betweeen the elements possible. Thus the system can take a variety of shapes and can function as a shelf, a cupboard, a table, a bench, a chair or any combination of the latter.

'Spacecross' by Jan Ulmer

Jan Ulmer designed this shelf system for the German company Schneiderschram. ‘Spacecross’ is assembled quickly. Simply interconnect the four equally sized shelves to create a SPACECROSS room module and combine numerous modules by just pushing them together. This allows you to design shelves of various shapes and sizes and, depending on the module layout, individual shelf configurations.

A modular shelf system

The shelf configurations can be individually modified and extended in each and every direction. And ‘Spacecross’ has the ability to adapt to bespoke room designs. It is made of MDF and available fully powder coated in white or anthracite or melamine resin coated in white.
