Inspiration: Creative Shelving & Display

A unique twist on standard shelving can make a display something even more special. It doesn't have to be complicated either.

The second image looks like a normal bookshelf (maybe even slightly industrial) but instead of sitting on the floor, someone has hung it on the wall — just high enough to cause a double take. I love it!

Can anyone tell me where to find the shelves in the third picture? Or something similar?

Love the first example. And have loved that harp chair for sometime. They had a similar one in the Anthropology catalog in spring:

just make *sure* you know how to install shelving into a wall surface. Cause if you don't it's a horrible mess when it all comes crashing down in the middle of the night.
