Back to basics. The LAX Wall Mounted Shelf, designed by Bernard Brucha for MASH Studios, is an utterly simple storage unit. You choose between birch plywood and solid walnut (yum). The sliding doors are made of white-painted 1/8" bent aluminum plates that are fit into a groove in the wood.

In a world where there are so many over-designed, non-designed, cheaply-crafted pieces of furniture, it's refreshing to see this piece. It could be used as a sideboard if mounted at the right height, a media cabinet, or even over-the counter shelves in the kitchen.

The price isn't bad at $590 for the birch model and $690 for the walnut. Plus, shipping is free when you purchase through Design Public.
