# Stackable LEGO Ledges The Build It Modular Fixture is Secure in Assembly and Striking on Display By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-it-modular-fixture References: [vishalagale](http://vishalagale.com/21925/241692/gallery/build-it) An aesthetic balance must be struck when it comes to designing shelves, and the Build It Modular Fixture seems to succeed on both sides. The playful pieces embody an obvious iconic quality, yet they do not take away from the view of the items they exhibit. Designer Vishal Agale was inspired by [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept) toy bricks in the development if each cubby unit, altering his own to incorporate depressions and protrusions in all four sides and leaving the core of every block open. The result is a set of backless display boxes, coated in white so to make the appearance of their contents pop. The whimsical details and the lighthearted approach to creating a [customizable storage system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving) give the Build It Modular Fixture a fun identity. It is enough to foster admiration as a piece of furniture but to simultaneously frame the objects inside with pride. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Fixtures:** The Build It Modular Fixture offers a customizable storage system and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in home and office furniture. - **Lego-inspired Designs:** Designer Vishal Agale's inspiration from LEGO toys for the Build It Modular Fixture presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in other product designs. - **Backless Display Boxes:** The development of backless display boxes in the Build It Modular Fixture presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in retail and exhibition industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The Build It Modular Fixture presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in home and office furniture design. - **Toy:** The LEGO-inspired design of the Build It Modular Fixture presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the toy industry. - **Retail:** The development of backless display boxes in the Build It Modular Fixture presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playfully Modular Display Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/judogrid.md) - [Jigsaw Puzzle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf.md) - [Flexible Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbox-modular-shelving.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md) - [Mounted Colorful Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-shelf.md) - [Modular Stacked Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stack-furniture-collection.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md)
