When Aeru hosts workshops and events, the shelf rotates flat into the wall to accommodate seating. "The cabinet changes form according to the occasion—it can be used to display products, or it can be used as a desk and bench," states the firm in its description of the concept. "Thus, it allows one to use the shop space freely and flexibly. With this cabinet at its core, this shop reflects the fascination of Japanese craftsmanship."

The Belt Series is a minimal collection of objects by Munich-based designer Jessica Nebel, inspired by the language of traditional leather crafts. Combining wood with leather creates a highly functional characteristic and beautiful aesthetic. To be installed, the hanging rack only uses two screws and when not in use, it folds up against the wall. The ladder serves as a shelf or shoe rack. The set-up consists of a typical ladder structure with additional horizontal bars that are held by leather belts.

The Walnut Coat Rack takes a simple household accent and elevates it with rich walnut wood. Featuring a trestle shape, the coat rack includes a base on which to rest shoes and boots, and a connecting bar that can be used to hold hangers or drape scarves and jackets. The result is a balanced piece that is geometric and refined.

Board By Design's handmade shelf lets you hang your bike by its saddle, handling any and all bike shapes and sizes. Your bike will look as if its floating elegantly by the wall. Better yet, The Bike All shelf has two hooks for your helmet and bag. Place your smaller belongings on the top shelf—there's even an opening for your cell phone charger. The all-wood unit is especially handy for the space-deprived, measuring in at only 20-inches long and 7-inches tall.

Three deceptively simple shelves made of particleboard are the house's main structural elements. By pushing any one of the units, the resident can easily reposition it; they slide left or right with a simple track system.
