Complicity mechanism; residual ladder; spatial corrections. These are some of the products and categories on the Worst Website in the World™ promoting the design company Ludens. Tucked somewhere deep inside the Flash monstrosity, you’ll find the Mexican Army Shelf, a modular wall unit as awesome as its name suggests.
Appearing as a simple block of wood when spied from afar, the shelf unit folds out like the offspring of the Swiss Army knife and the crappy pencil boxes we were forced to make in school (mine never closed properly, but the varnish, even when well dried, provided solvent-highs for months after).
We think of it as a utility belt for the wall, with special compartments for keys, coins, clothes and, well, anything else small enough to slide in. It looks far beyond my woodworking skills, though, and is as yet unavailable to buy. Ikea needs to make this, and fast.
