ROOM Collection is an artistic take on the traditional shelving unite. Instead of being made up of standard surfaces that are able to accommodate any type of object, the ROOM Collection is tailored to specific objects. For instance, there are angled cutouts perfect for books, domed cutouts for shoes and even medium circles for wine bottles and fruit.
Designed by Erik Olovsson and Kyuhyung Cho, the ROOM Collection still manages to store quite a few objects. Presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Milan Design Week 2014, it is made up of 25 stackable blocks that also vary in size and shape. This modular system allows people to tailor the furniture to their own needs and desires.
