Et Voilà Design Daniele Lago

I haven't blogged about Lago before but have come accross them many times of the years.

One that caught my eye today was the Et Voila. Designed in 2011 for Lago.

It's a great looking storage system.

From Lago site:

Et Voilà  is a new storage system born from the desire to revise the container paradigm, domestic and otherwise, and introduce new ways for making the most of furniture. A taut piece of fabric encloses and creates a space, completely eliminating the perception of shutters. It almost seems like a magic box, where the undefined surface produces a sense of estrangement in whoever is looking at it.

As you can see from the photo it's pretty large.. According to the site it's Max Width: 426cm Max Height: 270cm.

Tangram Shelves from Lago

Tangram is the famous puzzle with 7 shapes that don't over lap that then create an complete shape of say a person or animal etc...

Lago have used the idea to create these shelves, of course you can buy and arrange them how you'd like but the photo show how well it can work to make a focal point in a contemporary or modern living space or office.

Functionally the shelves will not hold many books or items but the point is to create and graphical focal element vs its use.

If you want the history of Tangram then check out wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram
