Details.
Small rubber O-rings
are fixed to the edges
of the hanging rails;
these prevent them
moving and falling
off the frames: its the
little design details.

Level. Always.
Having perfectly level
floors, especially at the
edges of room is rare,
and carpet makes this
worse. Chrome plated,
rubber soled adjustable
feet solves this.

When open, the storage assemblies only
branch 300mm into the room, the same as
a full extension drawer, meaning extra space
isnt needed in front of the cabinet compared
to a standard chest of drawers.
1320mm
The sideways extension of the hanging rails
to the right only extends past the cabinet by
220mm, meaning although it cant sit tight
into a corner, it doesnt come far off.
Once open, the top handle is 1885mm off
the floor, easy reach for the vast majority
of adults. (Overhead Grip Reach: Male
Mean:2093mm / Female:1944mm)
The bottom handle sits 1090mm off the
floor; this provides increased leverage when
both handles are used, making the closing
movement easier.

challenges the practical
aspect of storage but
Changing peoples mindset challenges the whole

addressed this by creating a
concept that is truly unique
and far removed from
anything else on the market.
