Shelving unit can be configured in any which way
Modular furniture just took on a new level of meaning with Listón. Argentinian Designer Guillermo Cameron Mac Lean created Listón to rethink how we use and reuse furniture pieces for the sake of the climate.

First, the reason for the unusual modular style of Listón is a focus on the environment. Flat packing these slats reduces the shipping package, saving shipping costs, storage space and other logistics resources.

Moreover, Listón adapts and grows in a space like pixels to fit to different spaces and needs. No glue was used in these pieces, and the ties can be taken on and off by pressing a button. This means the furniture can be reconfigured as needs change.
On the other hand, disassembling the furniture also means it can be separated for later recycling. It’s not a good habit to get tired of a piece of furniture. As a result, they designed a furniture that is subtle enough to fade into the background so you never get tired of it.
Lastly, Listón can be used as a room divider, an organizing piece of furniture or as various types of side tables.
