Swiss manufacturer Peka's no-nonsense tagline, "Fitting and accessories for the kitchen, bathroom and living area" belies a slick line of well-conceived product designed to use every square centimeter of space. The brand has eschewed the particle-board shelves we've become accustomed to on Planet Big Box and opted for laser-cut steel, providing the rigidity and durability required for their designs, which all move through space on various axes; they also allow for magnetic, user-configured dividers and cleanable mats.
Their mechanisms also take your post-usage shoves and turn that into a gentle self-closing motion. Check out their Libell line:
While Peka already has a reputation in Europe, for North American designers looking to spec their stuff, you'd have to go through Richelieu, their Quebec-based distributor.

And from a person actually living...the shown usecases seem so rare that the investment made wouldn't be worth it.
Honestly...how often do you adjust the hight of your kitchen cabinet's shelves?
- At max every other year when you are in massive make over mood.
Having this quite dominant rail and slider system inside of the cabinet to provide space for one or two pots?
Doesn't really seem to practical to me.
It got ridiculous when they were showing the duo-function hangers. It can solely be used for trousers and I never wanted to put the hanger in the shelf that way. If I want to take a look at the pair of pants I can a) hold the hanger, b) get the trouser of the god-damn hanger. No need for special hangers / shelvings.
Sorry...this so niche, I can't even think of a sane target user group...
