Moebler

“Hacked” furniture seems to be all the rage right now — there are even entire websites devoted to hacking together customized creations out of the endless rows of colored, angular Ikea furniture. It was only a matter of time before someone took it a step further, and that someone is Moebler, a small design group based out of Germany. Moebler specializes in seemingly “hacked” furniture, creating an interesting and artistic take on the mundane items like bookshelves that usually hide in a corner. For example, have a look at their King of Siam shelves.

Moebler has also taken to the big blue box themselves, creating a line of their own Ikea hacks. Their designs, however, are a little different than the others I’ve seen. Usually people are hacking their Ikea wares to make them function a little differently without changing the appearance too much. Moebler, on the other hand, puts their hacks out for everyone to see. I particularly like their take on a Lack table, which they call Greenwich Tea Time.
