back in 2006, designer (and then pratt student) marianne von ooij debuted a beautiful series of shelving called the ‘slim shelves‘. ever since their debut i’ve been waiting to see them for sale at a store near me, and finally the day has come! ok, well, they’re not at a store near me, but they are for sale on marianne’s site. the ’slim shelves’ have changed a bit from her original design and instead of being made from aluminum, they are now made of a clear acrylic and home in a tall and small version. manufactured in upstate new york, marianne’s shelves are the perfect combination of storage and display- you can fit a decent amount of books in each shelf, but they’re designed to face cover-out so that you can enjoy the artwork as well. you can pick up your own slim shelf right here for $179-$239. thanks, marianne!
i also wanted to take a moment to welcome neal of present&correct to the d*s guest blog! i’m a big fan of neal’s work and am so excited to have his voice on the site this week. his first post is bursting with beautiful images (including some fantastic vintage stamp designs) so click here to check it out. welcome, neal!
