Inbox by Design Studio Labyrinth is not the first warehouse-inspired set that the company has scaled down for domestic use, but it delivers a lighthearted charm different to that of the Palette-It skid coaster. Embodying the boxy forms of big cargo containers, these nesting chests are best suited for lesser loads like kitchen implements, art supplies and household knickknacks.
Each pine crate pen holder is reinforced with a wooden frame and equipped with a square lid for concealing contents. The light lumber is playfully branded with an assortment of symbols that one would find on a coffer ten times its size.
The smallest piece measures 7.5 centimeters in every dimension while the largest is 12 cubic centimeters. Too tiny to serve as effective domestic storage, they are whimsical accessories designed for everyday use.
