Okay, so maybe the Ellips shelves aren't really scientifically proven to make rooms awesome, but if you take a look around the website, you should get proof enough and be able to fully embrace the awesomeness.

These shelves are assembled from specially cut pieces of wood to play tricks on the eye, adding extra fluidity to a room that could not be achieved by the usual, bulky, rectangular shelving unit. I especially love the pictured spherical illusion one, called the "Big Jim", but all of the designs are clean and would do well in any home looking for a modern touch.

Many of the designs on the website include detailed measurements of each piece in the unit, so, if you're the handy type, you could actually make your own.
