Piegato Shelves
The original Piegato shelf, released in 2007, arrives by mail as a 39-inch-by-26-inch sheet of laser-cut powder-coated steel. Following simple instructions, you can fold the sheet into a three-shelf bookcase in a matter of minutes then attach it to a wall with just a few screws. (Click here for a video of the shelf being assembled.)
The new Piegato One is a single shelf based on the same folding design of the original Piegato. Unlike the limited (and serious) white and black options for the three-shelf version, the Piegato One will come in four colors—blue, green, orange, and yellow—and be great for a small shelf above a desk or in the kitchen.
Ries has also created two additional single-shelf designs based on the Piegato bookshelf: the Piegato mirror and the Piegato board. The former features a single shelf topped by a mirror (think bathroom or bedroom vanity) and the latter is a shelf topped by a chalkboard (perfect for next to the front door). The three new shelves are scheduled to be on the market this fall. For more, visit matthiasries.com and mrdoproducts.com.
