One thing that is not apparently clear in the image of the OTO 100 Storage System by Pil Bredahl is that the shelving system is a series of compressed cardboard rings that arrives packed as if it were a Russian Matryoshka Doll with each successively smaller ring nested within the larger ring. That is to say, this beautifully designed object is in a package no bigger than a trash can, an extremely smart design feature for those urban nomad.
