Maurício Arruda has designed a collection of storage pieces called José, inspired by residential Brazil and considering environmental impact. Each wooden structure holds crates instead of drawers, a nod to the markets of fruit, greens and vegetables in Brazil. The wood is FSC-certified finished with wax rather than solvent-based finishes, and the plastic bins are made from recycled plastic.

The self-adhesive back plate is stuck to your wall allowing you to use the magnet to hold your bits and pieces. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook More Milk: Art Milk | Dog Milk

Materials: PERFEKT Storage System
Description: Vino
anyone? I love wine, but often had no place to store several bottles (My kitchen is about 90 sq ft). I used a portion of the Perfekt storage system to create a cute little wine cabinet in my kitchen. I removed the drywall and portions of 2 X 4s in the foyer to create a niche for the shelving system. I added supports on either side for a tight fit, then added molding on the outer edges for a finished look. Now I can store up to 10 bottles at a time!

Materials: Besta shelf units, Inreda drawers
Description: I wanted something in our front hallway where we could store shoes, umbrellas, gloves, etc; put the mail and house keys; and have somewhere to sit when putting on or removing shoes (we like to keep the house shoe-free as much as possible).
I bought three Besta shelf units — two singles, one double — and screwed them all together in an L shape. The open shelves at the bottom hold shoes, reusable shopping bags and umbrellas. I installed two Inreda glass drawers up top to hold smaller objects, such as gloves, scarves, sunglasses, bicycle lights, etc. Up top I have some baskets for mail and keys, and I found three square cushions at a futon store that perfectly fit the width of the bench.

Materials: Ikea ODDA night stand
Description: Being a recent college graduate without a job, sometimes you have to be creative. I had two Ikea night stands, which I turned into rack mounts for my audio gear. I popped off the four wheels. It just so happens that the width of the night stand is exactly the same width needed for a rack for audio equipment. All I had to do was drill holes on either side of the stand and then slip the racks right in. Hope you enjoy!
