This memo board design is intriguing in appearance because it is studded with pill-shaped fixtures tabs. Creating a grid-like pattern, the Remind Shelf by Norwegian design company Unikia is able to support and hang items on its tabs and within its gaps. The board is separated into three segments; the shelf, whiteboard and a checklist of movable switches.
On the far left, the grid-like knobs are made of flexible silicone. These are soft enough to let you squeeze your phone or pens inside of the grid, but also sturdy enough to hang keys and other items. You can write memos in the middle with a dry-erase marker. The slide-knobs on the far right work like ON/OFF buttons; you can keep track whether you've completed certain tasks by indicating with the switch.
