Lundia shelving system was invented in Sweden in 1946 but is made in Finland and New Zealand at least. It is odd in that it's light, adaptable, modular, durable and timeless, all at the same time. (Usually durable things are heavy.) This is because it is actually designed with mechanics in mind and the materials are good: solid wood for the compression members, thin steel for tension members and solid wood shelves for the bending strength. The shelves are movable without tools. Also if you're in Finland, there's a huge aftermarket so it's easy to buy and sell Lundia "ladders" and shelves etc whenever you're moving or refactoring your home. They last basically forever and you can mix and match old and new parts. And it's a mover's delight as everything disassembles into easy to carry parts. It's a complete antithesis both to the old heavy furniture and the Ikea cardboard throwaway things. All the furniture chains are making bad adaptations of the idea. Ditch those, get the original.
