About Fly Modular System

Fly is a modular furniture system designed for flexible living spaces. The system is composed of two structures of different heights, with drilled channels, bars, shelves and butterfly-shaped screws that allow many layout configurations. Fly is made of brass, steel and reused pressed wood. Assembly is simple, because the bars are fixed into the drilled channels with the butterfly screws to support the shelves. The system can be assembled and disassembled without professional help. Fly can be used in the office, the bedroom and the kitchen.
