Modular wall elements
These are small pieces to design walls and ceilings. They are half balls on a square. The pieces are made of plastic. You can put the pieces together in different ways.
This shelf is called Eur. The designer Giulio Iacchetti designed it. It has 3 parts: • an arch with short sides • an arch with long sides • an arch with sides of different lengths
Children can assemble the parts in many different ways. They can create a shelf or a wall to play with. The arches are about 20 centimetres to 40 centimetres high. They are made of a special kind of plastic: poly-propylene. This kind of plastic dissolves after a long time. It is not bad for the environment.
The shelf Eur is part of a furniture collection by the company Magis. The collection is called Me Too. Me too means in this case: I can do this too.
The goal of the Magis company was: They wanted to create toys and furniture for small children. The children should be able to build the space they live in by themselves.
