A modular organizer system for desks, shelves and drawers. Its frame design borrows from steel construction: vertical posts, horizontal chords and diagonal bracing form a stiff, lightweight trusses.
Three A5 tray types and one A5 lid connect with two U-clip types – no screws, glue or tools required.
Build flat or stacked trays, organizers, boxes or upright files, and reconfigure them whenever your needs change.
To change a configuration, pull the clips off and rebuild.
Feel free to up- or downscale the elements.
Have fun!
Update (version 2): Tray I, tray II and cover IV are now available in two versions.
Version 1 keeps the uniform member thickness throughout – visually the most consistent design, but the frame members along the edge where two trays or covers meet proved too delicate.
Version 2 doubles the thickness of these connecting members, and U-clip 1 has been adapted accordingly.
I recommend version 2 – the final choice is, of course, yours.

Assembly
Every tray has the same A5 format. Trays can be combined in three ways:
Side by side: combine two A5 trays to one A4 tray.
Stacked: stack A5 or A4 trays.
Upright: turn a closed stack upright two create a file or magazine holder.
There are two clip types: U-clip 1 and U-clip 2 (see image "U-Clip Connectors: Types & Application"). Both clips snap onto the frame members from the side.
U-clip 1 is used wherever two trays meet side by side.
U-clip 2 connects cover IV to any of the three trays.
