Movisi



A comment on our previous post about Antoine Phelouzat's Play shelving system let us know that it is now available exclusively at movisi.com. I thought that was worth a new post, because this Movisi site has a really cool online configuration tool where you can build your own shelving system. It's also noteworthy because this stuff is surprisingly cheap- a good sized kit which allows either a 2x4, 3x3, or 1x5 cube arrangement is only $225. The material is ARPRO, an expanded polypropylene foam a bit like what they use to make dashboards. An interesting choice for a shelving system.

Movisi's other product is Frederik Van Heereveld's cool "Q-Couch", a similarly modular seating system made from the same stuff.

You can customize online and buy units directly from them. Very cool, and the pricing is really good too. Almost everything is under a grand, even when you load it up with doors. Made in Italy and Switzerland (!), which makes the reasonable pricing even more impressive.
