Lift by Staffan Holm for One Nordic
Stockholm 2013: Swedish designer Staffan Holm has created a shelving unit that concertinas flat for Scandinavian brand One Nordic.
Powder-coated steel hinges on three sides slide along rails hidden in the solid ash shelves, so when the top shelf is pulled upward the unit expands then locks into place.

Holm was inspired by extendable scissor-lift trucks to design a piece that can be delivered flat and erected almost immediately rather than assembled with fiddly fixings. The shelving is available in black or white and can be wall-mounted or stood on the floor.

One Nordic was founded last year and primarily sells designer furniture online so their pieces need to collapse for shipping but be easy to assemble. In a recent interview with Dezeen, One Nordic founder and CEO Joel Roos described furniture brands as being "terrible" at selling online - read it here.
Lift was shown at Stockholm Furniture Fair, which concluded on Saturday. Nendo was guest of honour at the fair, where the studio created an installation of laser-cut foam board and launched a chair that looks like it's wearing a cape.

More shelves we've featured recently include an interlocking wooden unit and small, wall-mounted dishes.
