Designed for office interior environments and layouts, there is provided a module wall system that comprises a module having a number of cavities and opposite cavities. The modules may include board plates, lateral plates, cover plates, and internal rails that are built to accommodate cables and utilities. The internal rails may be posted throughout the length of such modules and may interconnect with columns. The cavities may have cover plates positioned conveniently to form a structural, functional and decorative composition. The modules are interconnected, structured and fixed with the columns, which can be posted vertically and sitting on feet, to provide better stability. The columns are hollow and fitted with removable column cover for access to wiring or complementary accommodation of decorative objects. Modules may form various convenient work areas or cubicle layouts with functional and aesthetic environments. The columns may have different cross sectional formats, such as the square, triangular, hexagonal, etc. formats shown.

1. A modular wall system, comprising: a module having a horizontal dimension, a vertical dimension, and a thickness dimension;one or more board plates being attached to the module and extending in the horizontal dimension of the module, the board plates are arranged as horizontal shelves within the module;one or more lateral plates being attached to the module and extending in the vertical dimension of the module, the lateral plates are arranged as vertical dividers within the module;one or more cover plates being attached to the module; anda column being attached to the module and having one or more access holes that allow for cables or utilities to extend from one module to another, wherein the board plates, the lateral plates, and the cover plates are arranged generally perpendicular to one another to define a plurality of open and uncovered cavities each of which is integrally formed within the thickness dimension of the module and is only open on one side of the module, and at least two of the plurality of open cavities are adjacent one another within the module and share a common board plate or a common lateral plate between them, and the at least two open cavities with shared board or lateral plate extend the entire thickness dimension of the module and are arranged to open on different front and rear sides of the module. 2. The modular wall system of claim 1, wherein the board plates, the lateral plates, and one or more cover plates form the plurality of open cavities that alternate between opening on a first side of the module and on a second opposite side of the module, and the plurality of open cavities serve as shelves. 3. The modular wall system of claim 2, wherein the one or more cover plates can be aesthetically or functionally positioned at a predetermined depth in the cavities. 4. The modular wall system of claim 1, wherein each of the module and the column has one or more internal rails that are connected and located for the passage of the cables or utilities. 5. The modular wall system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of modules and a plurality of columns that together form a layout for work areas or cubicles. 6. The modular wall system of claim 5, wherein the plurality of columns interposed between the plurality of modules function as structural elements and also as cable or utilities pathways. 7. The modular wall system of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of columns has a cross sectional format that enables merging the plurality of modules together. 8. The modular wall system of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of columns has a removable column cover for providing wiring access and other additional functions, such as providing an ornamental receptacle. 9. A module for use in a modular wall system, comprising: a plurality of flat horizontal members;a plurality of flat vertical members being attached to the flat horizontal members such that the vertical and horizontal members form a criss-cross framework that includes a front side, a rear side, and a plurality of cubby-holes located therebetween in a thickness dimension, and at least two of the plurality of cubby-holes share a common horizontal member or a common vertical member between them, and the at least two cubby-holes with the shared horizontal or vertical member extend the entire thickness dimension of the module and are arranged to open on different sides of the module;a plurality of cover plates being attached to the framework, and at least some of the flat horizontal members, the flat vertical members and the cover plates close off the at least two cubby-holes so that one of the at least two cubby-holes is open and uncovered only on the front side of the framework and the other of the at least two cubby-holes is open and uncovered only on the rear side of the framework; andan internal rail being attached to the framework and extending through the module such that the internal rail accommodates one or more utilities, wherein the module is both a partition and an integrated non-sliding shelving system. 10. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a first cover plate attached to the front side of the framework such that a corresponding first cubby-hole opens to the rear side, and a second cover plate attached to the rear side of the framework such that a corresponding second cubby-hole opens to the front side. 11. The module of claim 10, wherein the first and second cubby holes are adjacent one another on the framework such that they alternate between opening on the front and rear sides. 12. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a cover plate attached to the framework in between the front and rear sides such that a corresponding first cubby-hole opens to the rear side and a corresponding second cubby-hole opens to the front side. 13. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a cover plate that is solid and non-transparent. 14. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a cover plate that is transparent like a window. 15. The module of claim 9, wherein at least one of the flat horizontal members acts as a shelf in a cubby-hole. 16. The module of claim 9, wherein at least one of the flat vertical members has an access hole that lines up with the internal rail such that the utilities may extend out of the module. 17. The module of claim 9, wherein the module is attached to a column along one of the flat vertical members. 18. The module of claim 9, further comprising a column that includes an access hole that lines up with an access hole in the attached flat vertical member such that the utilities may extend between the module and the column. 19. The module of claim 9, further comprising a column that is hollow and includes a removable cover at an upper end that provides access to the inside of the hollow column. 20. The module of claim 9, further comprising a column that includes a recessed column shelf at an upper end that supports an object. 21. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a cover plate attached to the framework in between the front and rear sides such that a corresponding first cubby-hole opens to one side and a corresponding second cubby-hole opens to another opposite side. 22. The module of claim 9, wherein the plurality of cover plates includes a cover plate attached to the framework which is installed in an alternative position in the middle or center of the cavity.
