These shelves, inspired by the classic video game Donkey Kong, are the perfect place to store your valuable, fragile possessions.
Via CrunchGrear, which found it on a list of ten pieces of furniture inspired by video games. I think that this may be the original page for the Donkey Kong shelves, but it’s written in German (?), so I’m not sure. Would any Neatoramanauts like to take a stab at translating it?

I don’t think that the German site is the original page, and here is why:
a. German homes don’t have that kind of crown molding, air conditioning vents, or RF cable outlets.
b. TCU helmet on shelf.
c. The text translates as:
Craftsmen are odd folk. You hire them to come to the office and build a few shelves on the wall for files, and at the sight of the game consoles they get a bizarre glint in their eye. Then the bill comes out exorbitantly high because they charged you extra for “creative inspiration.”

The Tetris shelves are my favourite – I can just see me making a set of them for my son’s refurb.

He seems to only have one N64 game, Goldeneye. Where are Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64?

To me, those seem like the Ikea shelf called “Lack” with red tape (or possibly paint) used to make the girders.

The person who built the shelves left a message at Gizmodo with a link to his blog -
http://www.alcoholandnightswimming.com/
- where there are tips on how to build the shelves. They appear not to be commercially available.
