Unusual Japanese Device for Adding Posts to a Room Without Drilling
Labrico, probably inspired by anti-earthquake braces
These unusual Labrico objects hail from Japan.
They slide onto the end of a piece of dimensional lumber, cut slightly shorter than your room, and you then screw an upside-down leveler up until it reaches the ceiling. It then holds the impromptu post in place, while a cap on the bottom protects the floor.
It's obviously not structural, but ought hold the wood in place securely; in Japan they use a similar ceiling-contacting mechanism to prevent bookshelves from toppling over during earthquakes.
They also sell little shelf supports so that you can fashion shallow racks.

I’m sure the instructions clearly point out the structural ramifications. Fewer holes means happier end-of-lease negotiations. From the creative land that put creamy condiments in upside-down containers 30+ years before us Yanks. I can see a line expansion that deserves its own corner in Muji or Hands. Throw some Marimekko fabrics in for good measure. Voila, new spaces.
Be mighty easy to pop a hole through sheetrock with one of these.
