Modern mavens may turn down their noses on any product that has the term "granny" in it but the Granny Wall Shelf surely deserves a second glance. A modern take on something as wholesome as the art of doily crochet making,the shelf not only pays an ode to a traditional art but is also a welcome blast from the past. Made from steel and not lace (obviously), the wall shelf is the brainchild of Beerd van Stokkum who has opted for classic colors like black and black. Having a length of 85 cm and a depth of 22.5 cm, the Granny Wall Shelf is even durable enough to use outdoors but personally given its intricate patterned design, I would love to showoff my favorite home accessories on it. You can order it online from here.

The bends in the wall-mount units are no coincidence and contribute both to the aesthetical and functional value. Available in four metallic shades of powder-coated aluminum , the Wave Collection is not only practical but also stylish.
