Nice to be shelf-ish

From the MOMA collection to we find pieces from Joe Colombo (Italian, 1930-1971). Tube Chair of Nesting and Combinable Elements. 1955. PVC plastic, polyurethane foam, and fabric. Manufactured by Flexform, Italy. Gift of the manufacturer, from Gubi, The Hive, by American designer Chris Ferebee, is a new freestanding module shelving system that can be put together in countless combinations. Winning several international awards, The Hive is founded in the innovative technique combining the strength and flexibility of the metal and the warm beautiful finish of the wood. The Hive is made with a solid aluminium core coated with genuine wood. The Hive is available in American walnut treated with organic citrus oil, which enables the wood to breathe. Being a module system, you can start out with only a couple of elements and later add on! The Hive is produced in Denmark by GUBI....

and lastly Kisskalt designs, an important objective for his business, is flexibility and they will gladly respond to special requests, as long as these are technically possible and feasible.
