Tongs is a minimalist shelving system created by Germany-based designer Anja Bachmann. Tongs is a simple shelving system that requires neither tools nor screws. It follows a basic design principle: the elasticity of wood. A clamp is joined with a groove to form a simple and smart connection, offering reliable hold and allowing for the shelves to be set up in various ways. The different lengths of the removable shelves allow the rack to hold larger objects as well. In addition, the clamps make it possible to flexibly rearrange, open and close the shelving system.
