Topsy-Turvy Storage Systems

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Some Order' Shelving Unit Has a Disorderly Disposition

— May 14, 2013 — Art & Design
It's common for designers to produce rather rhythmic-looking storage systems that give assorted arrangements of possessions an overall look of logic and tidiness. The 'Some Order' Shelving Unit breaks this convention as a collection of cubbies that have been made as quite different shapes and sizes.

Maxime Lapouille of Lille, France, presents this concept that comprises a bunch of four-sided wooden storage boxes. All of them have at least two parallel sides, but some of them contain no right angles at all. Similar slants, however, enable you to arrange the miscellaneous modules into seamless combinations that assume a systematic appearance together.

The 'Some Order' Shelving Unit can be set up against a wall or as a divider between two open concept areas. It can hold books, music, movies, electronics and so much more.
Trend Themes
1. Disorderly Storage - Designing storage systems that break the convention of tidiness and order presents disruption and uniqueness in home organization and decor.
2. Seamless Storage Combinations - Developing modular storage units that can be combined into seamless new shapes and appearances offers disruptive innovation opportunities for flexible and customizable storage solutions.
3. Asymmetrical Boxes - Creating asymmetrical storage boxes with non-right angle designs opens up disruption and innovation possibilities for unique designs while still fulfilling the functional purpose of storage solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Taking inspiration from the 'Some Order' Shelving Unit and designing unconventional furniture pieces can offer uniqueness and creative disruption to the furniture industry.
2. Home Organization - Incorporating disruptive storage solutions like the 'Some Order' Shelving Unit into current home organization methods can create unique and customized home organization solutions for consumers.
3. Interior Design - Incorporating 'Some Order' Shelving Units in interior designs to create a unique, unorthodox look can disrupt and fill an open niche in the interior design industry.
