Shelving does not always have to consist of a series of right angles forming a rectilinear piece of furniture.  Shelving can be fun; shelving can be exciting!  Who doesn’t love (and need) extra storage?  Marco Fumagalli has designed a wonderful alternative to traditional shelving.  Extreme from Martex is a whimsical modular shelving system for the office full of organic cutouts to store any collection of items.

Whimsical Modular Shelving for the Office

The Extreme shelving unit is created using a combination of multiple modular pieces.  Organic-shaped tubes are sandwiched between two perforated surfaces.  These tubes are constructed using a polypropylene foam material.  They provide an excellent lightweight, compact surface, and the tubes are recyclable.

Fumagalli has created a versatile storage unit by allowing the Extreme shelving system to assume either a vertical or horizontal position.  Other modules can be added to the base extending upwards or to either side.   Additionally, the Extreme system gains even more versatility by providing a variety of colors allowing it to find a home in any office color scheme.
