This whimsical shelf is also a puzzle

"In a new video posted to his Instagram, Westman introduces the Puzzle Shelf, a modular unit that comes in the form of several components resembling giant puzzle pieces. Users can assemble the shelf however they see fit, as well as select their own piece colors, which include white, forest green, fire-engine red, pink, a range of blues, and even a metallic silver. It's currently available on a made-to-order basis, as each unique shelf is produced by a London-based 3D-print artist."

"In an interview with Fast Company back in August for his first collection with Ikea, Westman explained that his designs are often inspired by memories from his own childhood. For this new shelf, he says, "I've always loved toy aesthetics, and puzzles have such a simple, fun function. The idea of pieces connecting to create something new felt like a great starting point.""

Gustaf Westman unveiled the Puzzle Shelf, a modular shelving system formed from interlocking components shaped like oversized puzzle pieces. Buyers can assemble configurations freely and choose from colors including white, forest green, fire-engine red, pink, multiple blues, and metallic silver. Each shelf is made-to-order and produced by a London-based 3D-print artist. The design continues Westman's chunky, toy-inspired aesthetic that evokes childhood play and imaginative forms. Recent experiments include a table engineered for glass stems, a spiral baguette-carrying bag, and inflated everyday objects. The Puzzle Shelf began as paper sketches, was rendered digitally, and was prototyped as a 3D-printed miniature model.
