# Modular Contemporary Shelving Systems The QURV Modular Shelf System Encourages Creativity By Amy Duong | Published 2025-05-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/inesvarela2) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/barbaraostrows)  A team of designers, comprised of Ines Varela, Barbara Ostrows, Tomas Tusini, Emiliano Lasdica, Ariel Balmaceda create the QURV [modular shelf system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dot-objects). It is the perfect blend of creativity and flexibility, making it easy to arrange a living space. It cleverly uses materials to form a thoughtful space and invites users to play with its structure and tap into their own creativity. Whether they need a low set up at a horizontal system or a waller and vertical arrangement, it would work like a [lightweight divider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco). Each module is made with [durable steel pipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf) and aluminum plates -- this gives an industrial design language in a modern tone. The effortless approach allows for seamless rearranging.
