Promoting the ideas of creative reuse and the aesthetics of vintage furniture, Dutch designer Isabel Quiroga has repurposed various tables into Storyteller. This purple shelving and desk combo reminds us of Matt Carr's Biblioteca Bookrack design for Umbra and the fantastical designs of Bay-area designer Thomas Wold.

LOVE IT!!! Love the color too.
You can anchor it with wall anchors into the drywall then screw through the table (pilot hole) with a long screw.

Wow, this is a brilliant idea. The image shalt be saved within my "when I own a house" folder.

This is clever, but looks like something I'd see in an Urban Outfitters store ... rather than something I'd like to see in a home.

I guess I'm the only one who finds this pretty much derivative of Thomas Wold's work... sans the literary references.

It's kind of Louise Nevelson-ish, and I love her work. I probably wouldn't do purple, but I still love this. I really, really, really love this. This would be practically free for anyone who live in the city, where desks and tables get thrown out on such a regular basis.
I'm not familiar with Thomas Wold's work, but derivative sounds like a perjorative way of saying, "reminds me of" and everything kind of does that in one form or another, doesn't it?
