New Year, New Storage Solutions: Modular Storage Systems We Love
In the world of Scandinavian design, storage is never just a utility—it is a foundational element of the home’s architecture. From the mid-century legacy of rail-mounted systems to today’s tool-free assembly innovations, modular shelving represents a marriage of fine craftsmanship and absolute versatility.
At Batten Home, we believe that New Nordic design is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about pieces that work for your life. This season, we’re highlighting the systems that allow you to become the designer, offering everything from 3D configurators to "brick-by-brick" builds. Explore our top picks for modular storage and discover how these contemporary classics can transform your space for the new year.
FRAMA Shelf Library System
Created in collaboration with Kim Richardt in 2016, FRAMA Shelf Library is a contemporary take on the classic rail-mounted shelving systems first introduced by Scandinavian cabinetmakers in the 1930s. This system offers a refined evolution of that legacy, featuring its own distinct design language.

WOUD Bricks Storage System
This refined storage system series emphasizes Scandinavian design traditions through fine craftsmanship and minimalistic aesthetics. The modular cubes allow you to build it brick by brick to create the storage system you need. We love it as a room divider, a wall-mounted bookcase, a side table, or a place to display your favorite sculptural objects.
Whether you are drawn to the timeless oak dowels of the WOUD Elevate or the infinite configurations of the String System, the beauty of modular storage lies in its longevity. These aren't just pieces for the new year; they are investments in a home that remains organized and inspiring for years to come.
