Despite our best attempts at living in a sleek, minimalist home, my girlfriend and I have finally accepted that we live amongst an obnoxious pile of clutter. It's become so bad, that we're about to purge a bunch of our stuff -- even, I'm embarrassed to admit, our books. Not only do they look sloppy crammed into our bookshelf, but they take up a ton of space.

But all that was before I spotted this Invisible Shelving System.

While this may look impossible, the books are actually supported by a row of small, clear plastic prongs -- creating the illusion that they're suspended in mid-air. This way you can have easy access to your favorite paperbacks, without letting big, clunky shelving kill your design aesthetic.

Genius.
