There’s nothing like a bunch of boxes to fit random storage needs. This set by The Utility Collective includes six boxes of varying size that you can stack any way you want. If you get bored, just mix/move it around. It’s also nice that the more squarish boxes can double as end tables if needed.

If your stacks and stacks of tomes need a more organized home, consider this large bookcase by MASHstudios. Measuring in at 72” wide by 75” high, it’s got a nicely sized grid to keep your books upright and in place.

If you’ve got storage issues, check out Skitsch’s Bookshelf Collection. Each piece carefully hides all sorts of clutter behind its trompe oeil door. There’s a full-on sized bookshelf cupboard (above), a sideboard and a smaller side table (shown below).

Talk about a modern classic, this sideboard from Atlantico (the people behind De La Espada) is sure to be a piece that stays with you no matter how many times you move. There’s a choice of American white oak, American black Walnut or American cherry, all of which are sourced from sustainable forests. And if you’re balking at the price tag, be sure to look closely at the joinery; as is often the case, you get what you pay for.

Take a look at this shelf: half wall sculpture and half functional storage object, it’s made from one flat sheet of metal which is then hand folded along perforated cuts, giving a stitched detail along the edges. There’s also two orientations you can use, which gives you an option to mix it up every so often.

The graphic colors and lines of the gym court sure make an eye catching pattern on this eco-friendly cabinet. Originally this series was created in 2008 using old floor boards (see Old Floor Board Edition, which is perhaps my favorite) and more recently Mater has added the Pine and Oak Editions. Plus, you might be happy to hear that Mater donates a percentage of profits to promoting sports in developing countries.

You probably recognize this little sideboard as a collaboration between designer Sebastian Wrong and artist Richard Woods. Brought together by Established & Sons’ program of ‘Collaborations’, they’ve certainly made an excellent collection of interesting cabinets together, varying in size and price, of course. The small sideboard (shown above) has two sliding doors and internal shelves.

designers: Sebastian Wrong, Richard Woods
59″ x 16″; height: 25.25″

Also, just so you know, the least expensive item in the collection is the Wrongwood’s Night Table with the price tag of $2,170.00… bad news for the budget conscious.

This rather simple shelving system gives a sense of lightness despite its size. Soap-treated oak sticks, powder-coated steel and screws give the frame strength and stability, and don’t worry if pink and sky blue don’t quite suit your interior plans, as both sizes are available in three different colors.

Material: Soap-treated oak, Powder-coated steel

Alice in Wonderland is an interesting mashup of materials and styles. Traditional elements are implemented in oak while much more angular and modern lines in white MDF. Oh wait, what is you say? Based on the description its a combination of a cabinet and writing desk. I’ll take the designer’s word for it. Regardless of what you want to call it, it certainly will add quite a visual punch to any room.

Designer: studio-ziben

Dimensions: Height 1190mm / Depth 840mm / Width 500 mm

Material: MDF glossy varnished, oak wood

Finding a modern media stand is no easy task. I know this personally, of course, and am quite familiar with the many requirements needed to house those precious electronic boxes that magic images up on the tv screen. Dimensions, ventilation, wire management, and above all, how it looks… all these things are important. So, that’s why this console caught my eye. It’s certainly easy on the eyes, with a lovely walnut finish and a low profile, with slats to allow for ventilation (and visual interest). The compartments can be fitted with a drawer or a space specifically for electronics.

Walnut finish.

We’ve been fans of Iannone Design for quite some time now, so it’s no surprise that this low storage unit would eventually have its turn in the spotlight. Just under 2 feet, it’s low enough to fit a good sized flat screen above or on it without sacrificing a reasonable viewing height, and the cork doors and plywood core edges add just the right amount of natural elements to balance out the tech.

Two compartments (each with an adjustable shelf) and wire/vent holes in the maple back.

Material: Amber bamboo/cork/maple plywood.
