Finally! RSW pimps Ikeas BILLY shelf
35 million units have been sold worldwide of the IKEA shelf BILLY – making it the world’s biggest seller when it comes to shelves. In 2005 we became forerunner of IKEA hacking. Following the slogan PIMP MY BILLY we devoted our creativity to this classic IKEA piece.
BILLY WILDER meets one’s primary expectation of a shelf – to put everything in order. It is 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”.
Materials: Particleboard, Foil
Books and notepads somehow tend to topple down in the shelves – STUETZE is the answer to this problem. STUETZE is a small plate jacking up the BILLY shelf on its sides. Thus, books, binders and even single pages can be stored upright in the shelf, making bookends no longer necessary. STUETZE fits all variants of BILLY and can be attached to the existing mounting on both sides of the shelf.
Materials: oak wood, brass allen screws
BILLY HEIDENREICH is a rack with a lectern. The book shelf is enhanced by exchanging the middle rack with an apparent and convenient add-on element. The lectern is modeled on classic examples. With its shelf-related design and workmanship, however, it is easily integrated into the overall picture.
