Hi timmy jr., thanks for the nice words ;) MShelving is actually designed by a friend of mine, Mathias Frei, who manufactures and sells it in Switzerland, and then we bring it over here because we love it so much.

The system can hold over 250 pounds per shelf, so you can put pretty much anything in it: art books, a dj's entire record collection, etc. etc., and even use the lower units as benches if you want.

Where are you located? If you're near NYC you're welcome to come see it in person at our showroom/office, or in San Francisco you can see it in use at the Rare Device store (www.raredevice.net). If you're not near either of those just send us an email at info@loadbearing.com and we'll send you a little catalog and color sample chips, etc.

Thanks for asking about us, and just let us know if there's anything else we can answer!

Yes bromeliad, it's the Xavier sofa and the fabric is 1198-021, a nice sort of "salt & pepper".

And thanks Anusha & ilovebc! I was trying to show that you could use modern furniture easily available but spice it up with color and art, etc.

Hi all, thanks so much for your lovely comments!

I wanted to give a little more credit to the artists whose work appears in the salon-style grouping above the fireplace, etc., but it's also hard to see them in these photos. Here are a few other photos with a *bit* more detail including the mock-up I did of that wall.

And here is a list of all the artwork in the room. It's a long list, so I'm sorry for the long post, but I don't want to leave anyone out!
