Bouroullec Algue Plastic Elements

What you see here are these things called Algues. Each algue is a plastic “branch” that can easily clip on to other algues to form wall hangings, room dividers, sculptures, etc…They’re really pretty neat and would add a different sort of texture to an interior. So think about it. 50 elements make up an approximate 8′ x 11′ single screen.

(Each plastic algue’s dimensions are about 9″w ยท 1.5″d ยท 12″h)

available in white, black, green, or red

3-Wide Dresser

I suppose this is meant for a nursery, ’cause that’s what it says on the site, but really I’m thinking it could be for any room that you need storage.

And, if that’s not enough for you, you have your pick of carving options and base wood color as well. Available in Cotton Candy, Pond, Slumber, or Snow.

Lacquered MDF and birch.

66 W x30 H x19 D
Dark or ligh birch platform options.
