Build Your Own Storage: Modular Aluminum Shelving by Studio Moto of Belgium

Mo Vandenberghe and Thomas Hick of Studio Moto conceived Stack out of necessity: needing storage for their Ghent studio, they found nothing that suited them and designed their own. The result is a system of interlocking raw aluminum components that require no screws or tools to assemble — pieces click securely into place and can be reconfigured at any time.

FINCH Hudson secured exclusive US distribution after Michael Hofemann and Andrew Arrick encountered the system at Copenhagen’s 3DaysofDesign fair. “It’s intelligent, expressive, and deeply practical,” says Hofemann. “Studio Moto approaches furniture the way we think about living: nothing is fixed.” The acquisition marks a deliberate broadening of FINCH’s scope — moving beyond antiques curation to stock considered contemporary design that shares the same exacting aesthetic sensibility.

Produced at a high-quality local manufacturer near Studio Moto’s Ghent quarters, Stack’s components can be tailored to each space. Beyond conventional shelving, the system functions equally well as display cases, screens, and room dividers — and circular components are designed specifically for use as coffee tables. Prices begin at $3,950 for a medium-sized, multi-tiered configuration.

Raw aluminum is both the system’s material and its philosophy — honest, durable, and endlessly reusable. Unlike many materials, aluminum can be recycled over and over without degrading, and the natural surface develops a patina with use. Stack is available to purchase at FINCH Hudson in Hudson, NY, and online. Design consultations can be arranged directly through the store.
