Best Drying Rack is an official name of this product. The manufacturer supports it with these facts: the rack is portable, made from durable materials (no plastic), it has a shape that allows drying a load of laundry in a small space. I also like the fact that you can dry certain items horizontally by putting them on top of the rack. A tad pricey, but if durability is not an empty promise, it’s a lovely idea.

This exciting new shelving system is a creation of the Bangkok based design studio THINKK. They took a simple wooden stackable construction and jazzed it up with corrugated metal sheets. These metal elements can be inserted into wooden surfaces via special slits. They can serve as screens, dividers, even additional horizontal shelves, making this modular system very efficient. The modules are available in natural oak or in a variety of colored stains. The perforated sheets come in several colors, allowing you to contrast or compliment any of the wooden bases. Clever.

Fin

loeser_bettels_bed_fin_21

I like the idea of a properly sized bed that can be easily disassembled into pieces and put in the closet. Fin, created by German designers Sofia Löser and Henrik Bettels, is just that – a collapsible bed that can be easily stored and moved. The frame is made from metal tubes, the base – from birch plywood. The plywood pieces follow a specific pattern that ensures the sturdiness of the structure. This design also allows to achieve low material consumption, a happy detail for the eco-conscious.
