These CD shelves were design by Arik Levy. The "ladder" concept works where the shelving sits against the wall much like how a ladder would on a house. These CD shelves are constructed of Dibond alumimun panels which provide stability and support to the 8 shelves which when full, can be quite heavy. Find the product: here.
It's hard to find a nice way to store CDs where they are kept nearby, but without a cluttered look. This wall mounted CD storage solution unit is made by Cinna. It comes with a sliding door that does wonders for concealing CDs. The door covers one-half of the unit to show off some of items kept inside. Capacity ranges from 82 to 110 CDs per unit.

The Bilblioteca Book Shelf from designer Matt Carr has a rather similar look to the side view a traditional coffee table because that is where Carr's inspiration came from. I really like this unusual book shelf because it allows decorative accessories to be seen from all angles, and it has a nice open look that is not to heavy. Wall mounting hardware included. 44" H x 37" W x 11" D $500 from uncommongoods.com

Ibis bookcases draw their design inspiration from the bird "Ibis" which is a tall wading bird with a long bill. An interesting concept in the furniture is the way in which the shelves are suspended from a support that appears above the top shelf. Not only do the supports lend strength to the shelves and allow them to hold weight, but they add to the overall visual appeal. The "suspended" look creates an architectural feel that is perfect for a modern living room. More information: here.
One mans waste is another mans treasure. In the case of designer Tejo Remy who in 1991 made a "Chest of Drawers" from waste material as a comment on our consumer society, he managed to redirect scrap items from "recycled to immortal". It became an icon of the nineties and is now a true collector's piece. For the 100th Chest, Dutch jewelry designer Ted Noten created a special perspex drawer which is perfect for the hidden items like your valuables and special keepsakes. In the picture you can see this additional drawer right in the center. The Chest currently resides in numerous museums around the world and still stands as a reminder that we can reuse and recycle. 23.6" x 43.3" x 47.2" 440.9lbs. Price upon request from Droog.com
