oh those shelves

i've been looking at shelving systems because I am designing one big storage wall/shelving system for a wall of the small house. in this shelf will be a mixture of closet space, open shelving, built-in desks, etc. here is some shelving that could help me figure out the one wall and other shelving throughout the house.

i've always wanted open shelving in the kitchen. i think i can make this with some welding help and it will really make me pare down on the cups and plates that i will have since they will all be on display. from blake

of course the 606 shelving system esigned by dieter rams in 1960 and made by Vitsœ  is what i want. it's the best at combining desks, shelving and drawers into one. it's my absolute fave.

this shelving by george nelson and herman miller (1959) would also take the cake.

then there is this ikea stolmen shelving system. not bad. 

with this hack  put in your own shelving instead of ikea's typical particleboard.

or go completely diy and make some of your own using common plumbing fixtures! from brick house and here and here.

here is also a great blog about everything bookshelves.
