Introduction ■ Our idea focused on using recycled and environment friendly materials to create practical shelves yet adds decorative touch to walls. ■ Shelving not only helps you to organize things precisely but also provides ample space to store things in their appropriate place.

Create your own story Our shelving units make great homes for all sorts of things, from beautiful objects you love to display to essentials you just need to keep- off. We named our design " create your own story " and it really present the idea behind it, which is letting our customers create their own shelf in a way that can meet all their requirements and needs.

Background Our Idea was inspired from two companies: ■ Loaf company ■ Rockler company Figure 1: waffle wall shelf Figure 2: Pegboard

Stages of Design We intend to manufacture wire boards as grids that comes in different sizes, and these recycled wire fences support our idea of sustainability and to create product that are environment friendly. Figure 3: Old wire fence

■ We tried to add our Arabic touch to the design with adding the Islamic patterns to our shelf design by manufacturing the wire fence in these shapes; which add decorative touch and provide more stability and security for the hanged parts. Figure 4: Islamic pattern

Accessories ■ The idea behind “ create you own story ” is to give the customer the full power to create his own design by adding shelves and he could also have plant, coats, and key-hangers all hanged and organized according to the costumer taste.

Results Figure 9: CAD drawing Figure 10: Multi-function grid 1 Figure 11: Multi-function grid 2

■ Here we can see that the shelve bends about 2,3 mm with the force of 981 N. ■ From this we can see that the shelve will withstand up to 100 kg of distributed weight. ■ The test of the environment impact showed that the shelf is capable to handle 90°F day, 70°F night at 60-70% relative humidity.
