storage-solution-componibili

Who said storage units have to be square? The Componibili Tower Collection challenges this common perception and does it in an original and exceptional way, which adds a refreshing look to your home decor. The different modules have been designed to provide unique storage and organizing solutions for the home and office.

The Componibili is available in two sizes: 12.5” and 16.5” in diameter. The smaller version is available as either double tiered or triple tiered storage units, whereas the larger version is actually a modular system. There are three pieces available, two separate storage units and a closure lid. True, you can get it in a square shape too, but let’s admit it – round is much more interesting, isn’t it?

It’s no secret men have jewelry too. However, finding a jewelry box that has that masculine touch is not an easy task. So if you’re looking for a stylish storage box that will appeal to the modern man, I suggest you check out the Metropolitian Men’s Jewelry Valet Chest.

storage-2d3d-bludot

I love the 2D:3D collection from Blu Dot. This clever collection is based on the concept of origami: to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, without the need for cutting or gluing. Sounds simple? The difference is that this creative group has managed to do this with metal.

Blue dot was founded in 1997 by three college friends who shared a passion for art, architecture, and design. Their goal was to bring good design to as many people as possible by creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. In their own words: “the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Our job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible.” And there is no doubt that their 2D:3D storage and organizing collection is in line with this mission.

magazine-rack-kartell

Inspiration is a mysterious thing. It could come to us while we’re doing something completely ordinary or observing an everyday event. Either way, once we get inspired, magic happens!

By capturing this moment of riffling pages, eternal life were given, turning a “regular” item into something interesting, creative and inspiring.

herb-keeper-cuisipro

You don’t have to be a rock-star chef to know that there’s nothing like cooking with fresh ingredients. After all, whether or not we like to cook – we all love to eat, right? The Herb Keeper, from Cuisipro, is the home edition for any herb garden you can imagine.

So how does it work? It’s simple – the herbs are stored in a removable tray with slots to hold herb stems, which are kept hydrated by water placed at the bottom of the container. The container’s lid also lifts off easily for adding more water. The clear plastic container conveniently fits in most refrigerator doors. That’s how we’d like to keep our vegetables – fresh and green.

Many times in life, minimal thinking and/or design could get you maximum results. Meaning, you don’t need the biggest to make a statement.

With top quality pieces of furniture like this one, providing great storage space while taking up minimal space – who needs a closet?

magazine-rack-wallpaper

I subscribe to a few magazines, some about design, one about travel and a couple about home improvement and fashion. Once in a while I also buy magazines that catch my eye. Seeing as I don’t always have the time to read them all and even those I’ve read I don’t necessarily throw away, they seem to pile up.

For a long time now I have been trying to find a way to organize my magazines. When I saw the Rosendahl Wallpaper Magazine Rack I was really excited because I realized it was just the solution I was looking for.

How cool is this concept: hooks that look like pieces of sticky-tape that was turned into a hook and stuck to the wall.

If you’re looking for a decorative item, that is also useful, there are two important things to take into consideration: shape and color. The Collect Bookcase has both of these factors, big time.

dish-drainer-geo

Finally, you put that pile of dishes inside the dishwasher, but unfortunately there are always these few bits and pieces that should be hand washed. The Dish Drainer Geo is the perfect mat for drying your hand-washed dishes.

This colorful item has been designed especially to drain a small amount of washing-up – it is a splendidly designed mat; the subtle height differences in the design will ensure that the water will drain off.
