Fritz und Franken have developed 'Kontur,' a storage system that's versatile for both the office and at home. Moreover, each unit can be rearranged so that the owners become the designers in a sense, but aren't too overwhelmed with choices.
The units are actually made from a paper material in combination with a sturdier product. This makes the design sustainable and environmentally friendly, while still being practical and functional. One would think that paper material would become damp with the touch of drinking glasses, but with a quick cloth wipe the wetness is gone.
So far the shades come in various forms of blue and green, which further add to making these storage units versatile, as they would go with a number of different interior decors.
