Morphable Media Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Container Sideboard by Alain Gilles Lets You Adjust Accordingly

— June 8, 2011 — Art & Design
The Container Sideboard is a neat-freak entertainment system junkie's dream. Not only does it come with tons of storage compartments for you to organize your DVDs, Blu-rays, and vinyl records, but you can reconfigure any of the parts to this ever-changing fashionable furniture piece on a whim.

The Container Sideboard is designed by the talented Alain Gilles and is comprised of various parts made from Elm wood. The containers are lacquered and, as you can see in the pictures, you do not have to use every single piece of the Container Sideboard for the entertainment system storage to still look spiffy.

I think I'd have a lot of fun figuring out interesting ways to stack the Container Sideboard. I could probably spend a whole afternoon playing real-life Tetris with these things to make sure everything was just right.
