The San Francisco Chronicle ran a story this morning (from the Washington Post), entitled Shoe-box storage gets better; it's about the Hotel Box from Pure Nomade in Denmark. The boxes come in a variety of patterns, as well as some solid colors. They are meant to be stackable shoe sort-of boxes - which could, of course, also be used for other things.
It's an odd product, so let me just briefly quote from the article: "The $25 Hotel box, devised by Pure Nomade, is not only cheerful to look at, it also works as both storage and furniture. The unusually shaped, easy-to-assemble cardboard cubby can corral cosmetics, electrical cords, small toys or, of course, shoes."
I'm not quite sure what to think about this one, beyond "how interesting."
Jeri,
ReplyDeleteI have seen there before but haven't gotten my head wrapped around this product.
I can't get a grip with the multiple colors all bunched together, too haphazzard (spelling?) so I would stick with one color of box so the look is consistent.
I know the system looks like a piece of art, but I'd also make a tower that is more symetrical as well. I suppose if you had a big, empty wall, this would fill it nicely.

Thanks, John - it's nice to know your reaction was similar to mine.
