Build Your Own Storage: Modular Aluminum Shelving by Studio Moto of Belgium
Mo Vandenberghe and Thomas Hick of Studio Moto needed storage for their office in Ghent, Belgium. In response, the architects came up with Stack, a modular system of shelving composed entirely of aluminum. The pieces click securely together—no screws or tools needed—and can be configured and reconfigured in all sorts of ways.
The goods news is Stack has just become available in the US exclusively through Finch Hudson, a favorite Hudson, NY, antiques shop that is broadening its focus. “We discovered Stack during 3DaysofDesign in Copenhagen and it immediately resonated with us: it’s intelligent, expressive, and deeply practical,” says Michael Hofemann, who runs Finch with his partner, Andrew Arick. “Studio Moto approaches furniture the way we think about living: nothing is fixed.”

Above: Stack’s components are interlocking. They’re made of raw aluminum, which is both lightweight and strong. It will develop a patina over time and is 100 percent recyclable (unlike many materials, aluminum can be reused over and over without degrading).
Above: Studio Moto describes the line as “a playful family of stackable furniture, balancing functional rigor with experimentation and delight.”
Above: The modular components can be tailored to each space. They’re produced at a local, high-quality manufacturer near Studio Moto’s quarters in Ghent, and come at a cost: prices start at $3,950 for enough parts to create a medium-sized, multi-tiered shelf.
Above: The pieces can also be put to use as display cases, screens, and room dividers. And there are circular components designed for use as coffee tables.
