All our posts about the things that fascinate us; buildings, shelving, design and making
How to Make – Great Wall Desks
We are surprised to see how popular large floating desks are considering they are difficult to buy or make yourself, we've attached a few good youtube links so you can see how professionals make a wall desk and see the effort that goes into it.

Google Sketchup + 3DWarehouse
We’ve been busy building CAD models so it’s easy to use our shelving system in every project. We’re now at 3D Warehouse but we have also updated all our CAD bundles in our download section of our website.

Our Shelving System Just Gets Better
We hope you've seen most of our new components on the website, including cabinets, desks and clothes hangers.
