Industrial design houses are like cars. Once you notice a certain brand you'll see it everywhere. We've previously featured j-me's Big Head Coasters and a readling lamp that incorporates a slot for the book in question. These quirky little designs were simple and marvelous, and their newest piece is no exception.

The newest offering from j-me is a cool negative space to slide your shoes. The redundantly named "Shoe Rack", is a single piece of bent stainless steel that grabs a toe hold on a pair of sneakers or boots. Cantilevered over a half shelf the balancing act gives a floating appearance, and turns shoe storage into an aesthetically pleasing part of the living space.

Via our friends at Big Perk. Available in three and six pair lengths, the shoe rack retails for ~$125 and $180 USD.
