Modern Shelving NYC

DESIGN ROOTED IN NEW YORK. CRAFTED IN THE USA.

A LEGACY OF INNOVATION

Modern Shelving began as a collaboration between industrial engineer Manya and marketing executive John, united by a vision to reinvent modular shelving. Combining Manya’s precision engineering with John’s eye for design and customer experience, they created a system that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Today, that same philosophy powers Modern Shelving NYC — where adaptable, design-driven systems meet the demands of New York living. From compact city apartments to high-end retail spaces, we deliver custom modular shelving built to fit the way New Yorkers live, work, and create.

Manya Clark

- with her meticulous eye for detail and her background in industrial engineering, always sought to challenge the norms of design. She believed that every space, no matter how constrained, could be both functional and stylish. This ethos made her a force to be reckoned with in the industrial world, but she felt a void. She wanted to not just create, but innovate, crafting designs that echoed the uniqueness of every individual.

John Clark

- not just Manya’s life partner but the yin to her professional yang. John, a customer-focused creative, had an uncanny ability to listen, to really hear what people wanted from their living or retail spaces. Where others saw fixed dimensions and static designs, John visualized fluidity and transformation.
