Ancient inspiration lends itself wonderfully to modern reinvention in the form of this unconventional but alluring shelf. Designer Sean Yoo found himself intrigued by the erratic pattern formed by rocks in an archaeological site in Pompeii, and would come across it even after leaving Italy, leading him to incorporate it into his recyclable, stackable shelving. The polypropylene pieces, though lightweight, make a strong statement, and are infinitely versatile.
Hive Tip: Filling the spaces with books results in a far from ordinary presentation as the irregular angles give a structured, yet random effect. Placing items such as vases and small sculptures on just a few of the flat surfaces allows the negative space to beautifully showcase your keepsakes.

This shelf contains the kind of unexpected simplicity that makes us wonder why standard shelving is, well, so standard.Where In The Hive: bookmark Who: dopechiq was the first to add the Opus Shelving System to the Hive
