Swedish designer Johan Forsberg uses sand from the Öresunds seabed, the stretch of water that separates Sweden and Denmark, in the concrete formula he uses for these minimalist clocks. Visit Forsberg Form to see more of his work. Via Emmas Design Blogg

We’ve admired the Magnetique shelves by Swen Krause for German company Nils Holger Moorman for a while now; unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a retail source. We’ve rounded up some other shelving that can be ordered directly from the manufacturers.
Below: Although these metal ItBoxes are not as easily rearrangeable as the magnetic shelves, they can be fixed to the wall in any format. The ItBoxes are made of finely polished, color-anodized aluminum, come in 11 different sizes and 7 different colors, and are available from the Swiss firm ItDesign.
Below: On a more orthodox note, these straightforward Clever Wall Drawers designed by Markus Boge and Patrick Frey would work well in a variety of settings: beside a bed, in a hallway, or in a row above a desk. Available in four colors; small size is 89.60 Euros and the large size is 97.90 Euros from Manufactum.
Below: The PoggiBonsi shelf is made from a single sheet of steel and is available in five colors. 89 Euros at Atelier Haussmann in Berlin; also available at POAA in the Netherlands (they ship worldwide).
Below: The Brackets Included Shelves, designed by Sylvain Willenz, are $199 each at Gnr8.

Schubladen means drawers in German; it’s also the name of a shop in the Berlin-Kreuzberg Graef district that is devoted to the reuse of old and one-off drawers. Franziska Wodicka designs furniture using these cast-off drawers inset into new frames made of varnished or oiled MDF or solid wood. Visit SchubLaden to view the whole range.

I love this idea from RE shop in the UK: the owners papered a wall in the shop with old letters picked up at an estate sale. Vintage maps or newspapers also make for great wallpaper (the salmon pink Financial Times would be particularly compelling).
