Let physics hold your table together

Take a look at the Multi Tier Shelf for a bit. Do you notice how the shelf is held together not by fixtures, but by sheer interference? The outward facing legs prevent the shelves from sliding downwards. Isn’t that just the most simple solution ever? Ditch the nails, wooden pegs, glue, screws, and that tool kit. Gravity and physics will work just fine!

I personally love the touch given to the shelves near the holes through which the legs pass. The fabric, almost elastic effect gives the wood the illusion of being pulled, creating an aesthetic detail that you won’t forget for quite some time!
