Suburbia Wall Unit Turns a Neighborhood Model into Cubbies and Shelves

— April 11, 2013 — Art & Design
Take a good look at the Suburbia wall storage system. With your first glance, you might not have been able to fully appreciate the inspiration for the seemingly haphazard forms that protrude from the wall-mounted piece. You'll begin to notice the shapes of pitched roofs and even the outline of a swimming pool, suggesting that this whimsical unit is a model of a neighborhood, tilted on its side.

The scattered houses and sheds that project from the wooden panel have been made hollow with open sides. This allows them to function as pen holders and convenient niches for stashing a wide variety of miscellaneous possessions. Little trees serve as clever pegs and a playing field has been rendered as a cork board. Note Design Studio's Suburbia wall storage solution for Seletti brings a bit of playfulness to tidying.
