A piece like the Caption Shelf would be sure to bring some personality into your interior space. Designed by Matthew Ford, the lovely little ledge can be worked into the recognizable shape of a speech bubble, suggesting that its contents -- and your possessions -- speak for you and your home.
The adorable storage system is manufactured from a single sheet of steel, laser-cut to form perforated channels along which the piece can be creased. One long side folds up, one short side bends in, and two of the triangular sections are brought together to make the iconic tail. Hardcovers, paperbacks and miscellaneous items can be arranged along the white Caption Shelf, with one edge serving as a bookend.
