Folded shelves are based on a seemingly simple bending technique of a single sheet of metal to create pockets which hold and separate your items. Featuring a subtle bolt and hooks for hanging objects, it is a versatile wall shelf that can be used in both a practical and a decorative manner - suitable for organizing anything from mail to books, perfumes or spices, or just displaying your favorite belongings, in the hallway, bathroom, bedroom or kitchen.
