ivy and here wall hangers; tangram shelves

Wall decor tends to be an afterthought, with most attention focused on furniture pieces. There are however quite a few interesting options that can help your wall become a conversation piece in its own right. Above: Ivy is a modular system composed of Y pieces and four different types fo connectors. The angled spokes are strong enough to hang clothing on, making this not only decorative but functional.

“Here” is many things; it’s perhaps a map marker or a mouse cursor, but just like Ivy it also doubles as a wall hanger. Made from medium density fiberboard, this lacquered piece is already sold out in yellow, green and orange; second edition white, red and grey may be available by inquiring with creator Richard Shed.

Lago’s Tangram shelves are actually based on a Chinese game which consists of a square divided into seven parts. A medley of triangles, squares and parallelograms allows for an infinite number of combinations, ranging from strictly symmetrical to whimsical, life-like arrangements. Tangram is made from birch wood and finished with bee wax.
