Although I suspect these are more proof-of-concept than actual product (it’s hard to tell; the original site’s in French), I thought the idea was interesting enough to share. Designed Dany Gilles has created a set of interlocking\/stackable shelves, made from recycled cardboard. <\/p>\n

While I’m sure the designer was pushing the “made from recycled materials” angle, personally I’m more interested in the shelves themselves. I like the concept of shelves that can be assembled and re-assembled in different configurations. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve built shelves, only to tear them down a few years later when my needs changed.<\/p>\n

In theory, you could build a similar set of shelves out of wood … of course, building them out of dead trees kind of goes against the original idea. In fact, it’s the exact<\/i> opposite. It’s like replacing the engine in your hybrid car with a V8 to make it go faster. I was about to suggest that you could make them out of plastic instead, but now that I think about it, they already did. They’re called milk crates.<\/p>\n
