Starting today we will demonstrate that we can keep a promise meaning this week will be mainly about showing you surprising interior design ideas we found at the Milan Furniture Fair. First off, here are some pictures of an interesting tableware storing system. This is great especially for cups and plates and could be an alternative for a regular cupboard. The plates are manually put in the device as follows: you take a cup for example and place it above the storing system then slowly press it until it reaches the desired place within the design. This particular product occupies a lot of space, especially if we are dealing with a small kitchen. However, the system could easily be applied to replacing a tiny coffee set cupboard for example. This would turn it into a practical and aesthetic kitchen product, don’t you think?

I have to say, this is an incredibly impractical, god-awfully unsightly item. Gah. No sir, I do not like it!
Mave you have to right to disagree with this, people have different tastes.
Michael – I can’t tell whether you are saying I have “no” right to disagree, or if I have “a” right to disagree, but I can say that you’re right about one thing – people have different tastes. I don’t see anything wrong with expressing our personal tastes. After all, this is a forum for discussion.
I think experimenting with approaches and materials is one of the key practices of design, and in that sense I appreciate that the designer was willing to explore and experiment, and get creative with storage concepts. I just feel they didn’t take it far enough – they didn’t refine the idea enough – and that as a designed object with a practical purpose it’s a massive failure. Aesthetically it fails, and practically it fails.
The things that are created in the name of design and freedom of expression! This may actually work as a design piece in a ‘modern art’ gallery.
i completely agree, Mave. that is about as cluttered and messy as it gets. awful.
I would think the law of gravity will prove that this design is impractical, same as Mave’s opinion.
An ordinary shelf would hold so much more than this
I like the concept behind this and the “thinking outside the boxes”. I also see this design not as a replacement of traditional shelves but as a very nice object that plays between art and design, drawing new lines and suggesting new functionalities in the kitchen room. +1 and fly high
