These Swedish eco-shelves are made from sourced paperboard rolls, then adhered together with velcro. Cool that you can configure the shelving how you like, and apparently "people in Sweden use common hooks or angles and screws. It works fine being glued directly to the wall too."
We can imagine some rock'n'roll kid, especially, loving these for all of his/her randomness. We'd use them for towels, linens, and t.p. The main source for these shelves is UK-based Nigel's Eco Store, where a set of five rolls costs approximately $376.
I'm not sure about the scale of these but for a DIY solution one can whip over to the trusty Home Depot and buy concrete forming tubes (from 6" diameter to 3' +)
They are brown cardboard and the inside is lined with a film of plastic. Buy a bunch, cut them down to size and there ya go...
One may wish to go halves with someone though as the tubes are long and lest you need a whole wall of circles (hmmm) it might be too much.
Yeah..you'd think there would be a less expensive version out there
Retur Design's and Vivavi's Prices seems way too high for it's worth-especially when you have to find your own way of attaching them to the wall...
and I bet the Velcro would look extremley cheap after awhile..not to mention dusty/dirty.
It's paperboard and velcro. There is no reason these should cost $400. Crickey.
Here in Sydney, we have a place called Reverse Garbage which sells industrial leftovers for school * hobby art projects. They have cardboard barrels in all different sizes. If you pop out the top & base, you'd have these tubes - or maybe leave the bases in to paint a different colour to the wall.
It may be possible to source these kinds of tubes in your area from a similar charity outfit or carton manufacturer.
But these are ECO shelves and "specially sourced" and all that green mumbo jumbo. I have nothing against green products, but $376??? If you can afford to pay that much for some tubes and velcro I have a couple other ideas I'd like to pitch to you.
There's a tube manufacturer on the near west side who could make you a few tubes, of different sizes AND colors for less I suspect. AND they are local.
