Modular and multifunctional, Build is both a shelving system and a series of boxes that can be used to transport your belongings when you move house. A simple clip system assembles the shelving in minutes.

Build is a unique modular shelving system where the boxes used to transport your belongings become the shelves that display them. An ideal system for the modern urban nomad, Build can be installed in minutes, with any number of units, anywhere. Each unit is identical, allowing you to grow your shelving system over time. Its tessellating design means you can configure the units into shapes that complement your personal environment.

Build is moulded from expanded polypropylene (EPP) which is light, strong and will cushion and protect your belongings during transport. To assemble, each unit is held in place using a simple clip attached at the rear. When you are moving home, Build is easily disassembled from the shelving unit format and your belongings are instantly packed and ready to go. Each unit stacks on top of another, locking securely in place. Build allows you to invest in flexible furniture for every stage of your life and has been designed in a number of colours to ensure it can grow with you and your needs.
