Early on in this blog's history, i did a very small post about the dieter rams-designed 606 universal shelving system, but i've long felt the system deserved a bigger posting, so here it is. Designed in 1960 with the help of, professor rams' system is an incredibly beautiful bit of design thinking. When it was introduced it must must have looked shockingly clean and industrial.

The main idea wasn't so new; pole and wall mounted shelving systems with optional cabinets and desks abounded in the '40s and '50s (,,,, ), but those systems were mostly made of wood, sometimes with gold accents. They were almost earthy in comparison to the white powder coated steel shelves and starkly silver hardware of the 606. Rams' shelving was like a pure idea of storage come to life. It's difficult to imagine a system more stripped to its essence, but if material innovations make that possible, i feel certain that will make it happen. They continue to work directly with dieter rams to make improvements to the system, keeping a design classic from becoming merely design history. In fact, the relationship between vitsoe and the 606 is so close that they seem one and same (the 606 is often referred to as 'vitsoe shelving'). So why wont you find the above pictures on vitsoe's website?

Are they from 's website (after all, they claim to be the 'exclusive distributor of the 606 Universal Shelving System in North America')? Because vitsoe, it just so happens, isn't the only one to make the 606.

Italian furniture company also make the system, albeit only in aluminum. That means you can also buy the 606 from a de padova dealer, as well as from vitsoe themselves. No matter who you get it from, if you have the means to acquire a bit of this lovely stuff, you'll hold on to it. 606 shelving rarely pops up in the secondary market; a nice tribute to the design in its own right.

I have an aversion to. You know, those awkward pentagonal units meant to keep two rectangular cases from running into each other where walls meet. Something about putting a rectangular row of rectangular objects into a triangle just bothers me.

Books into a corner cabinet. This aversion also explains why you won't see round shelving on this blog.) i always advise people to run bookcases into each other at corners as shown above. I came across this lovely london home a few days ago on. This study is simple and beautiful, and the is worth staring at for hours. While i'm the first to pop my eyes at a wall of books rising to the rafters, i often think about the lonely life of books positioned well above a reachable level. Even with a library ladder, it's always the books within arm's reach that will get the most attention. The rest become, for the most part, decoration.

So while i'm awed by sky-high libraries, i'm equally enamoured by the intimate scale of interiors by architects like adolf loos and frank lloyd wright. The in paris couples a monumental space with shelving designed according to human proportions (see image above, from by alberto manguel). An inventive way to get a little extra accessible height to bookshelves is shown in the in marfa, texas (shown below). The bottom shelf extends out at double-depth to provide a bench seat for either sitting to read at the case, or for standing on to reach the highest shelves.

This is a good solution for those that might be too short for the top few shelves, or those who only need a little extra step to to the top shelf. It's integral, self-explanatory, and effective.

A great idea. As the name suggests, the by horm was originally designed in 1993, and recently updated. Activation Code For Autocad 2014 on this page.

Information from horm: “It was 1993 when Solaio was born, a product that to this very day is still a herald of the company style, inspired by a Gardella architecture. This year we present the third evolution of that system, with a different name, since we felt the need to underline the new aesthetic statement and, above all, to remind us and the world about the fact that this line still belongs to after 15 years”. We were finally able to get rid of the rear elements, to optimize height, to rationalize the various cavities, and to easily expand width, to insert the writing desk and the ultra-slim TV, to have a bar shelf, boxes for secret objects, a tray that seems to float in mid air, to create the corner. A graphic game that becomes a further response to contemporary trends that suggest light, versatile bookshelves, that are simple and straight-forward only at first sight.'
