Foam – Not Just for Airplanes Anymore
That’s right, it’s the “Airsquare” – designed by our pal Oliver Schick, and packaged ready for you to stack up a huge stack of them. But Chris! You might be saying, Chris why would I want that when I could just get something similar at Ikea! Well I’ll tell you: the 1 kilo to 15 kilo ratio.
Yes indeed, the 1 to 15.
1 kilo is approximately 2.2 lbs, or 1000 grams, for those of you who aren’t into the drug trade. So for this low/medium weight shelf, we have a very heavy acceptance of weight. A 30 pound book is no laughing matter.
On the bottom is “height adjustable powder-coated metal feet” that keep the system of blocks level on bumpy floors (like if you’re gonna have these thangs outside.) And then thin metal cube tops can be placed on top of the system if they’re going to be acting as sideboards or tabletops.
And I like. That. Color!
Designer: Oliver Schick

Only I see the similarity?

there are tons of cube shelving things like this – the unique quality of the materials is mostly what’s being shown here

Compressed polystrene beads ride again, wow what next……….I know ice chests! If you want to do the wow weight to strength ratio, buy some honeycomb panel that the floors of aircraft are built from, then you have something.

Are these honeycomb panels for lightweight and strength? It would make sense.
