Wan Symbol

this was just an idea for my shelving that actually linked quite well into china

The Falun Gong emblem features the ancient "wan" or swastika symbol, signifying good fortune.

The swastika is mostly associated with Buddha in India, China, and Japan. In early Chinese symbolism was known as wan, and was a general superlative. In Japan it may have been a sign for the magnificent number 10,000

The swastika's spectrum of meaning is centered around power, energy, and migration. It is closely associated with and , thus with tribal migrations.

Via Apartment Therapy and DesignSpotter, comes Ding3000's IKEA's Billy Bookcase Pimp. They call this the Billy Wilder shelf. Nice, huh?
"...meant as a playful approach to the subject “our daily mess” and shall serve as an interim storage place for unsorted books, magazines and newspapers. the wildly growing rack makes billy "wilder."
Billy Bookcase from IKEA has sold over 35 million-- making it the most sold bookcase in the world?

shelf heaven

You choose: design preference or survival technique?
Japan architect Yasuhiro Yamashita designed floor-to-ceiling storage solutions for his client, a 50-year old woman. His name for the design? "Cell Brick."

"Cell Brick's other significant space-saving device is its striking checkerboard wall system, composed of bolted steel boxes interspersed with glass inserts, some of which are movable. Combining the building's skin, structure and storage all in one, the cubbies hold stacks of dishes, small appliances and bottled condiments as well as books, clocks and plastic drawers for smaller items, completely eliminating any need for free-standing cabinets and filling the house with a patchwork of quotidian objects."
