This simple book rack design is made by the Italian designer Alessandro Di Prisco. To prove that simple ideas have the strongest effect, “Cubico” is a minimalist furniture item that can be used in a variety of ways. Here is a short description from the designer: “Cubico” is a new project by alessandro di prisco design studio. Its design is produced by the subtractive process, progressively removing material from an accomplished figure, the cube, getting some voids, fissures in its linearity. Cubico does not have an exact position or even a specific function, the position of the object can determine its function. It can certainly be a magazine rack, a coffee table, a stool or why not just a cube!” Due to its minimalist appearance, Cubico can be easily integrated in a variety of contemporary interiors, with a very pleasant aesthetic effect.

The limited space always becomes a big issue in our house. The need of more and more space is an essential requirement as our needs grows much more every seconds. Managing to blend different functions in the same piece of furniture shows how versatility has become an important feature for modern furniture items. Christian Lessing‘s Collecteur is one of those objects that encompasses both a piece of furniture and a storage system, making the surroundings more spacious by implementing a double function. Part filing system, part stool, this industrial-looking piece of furniture/storage can elegantly display magazines while offering you or your guests a comfortable surface to rest or sit on while putting on shoes.The fun part about this stool is that is grows in height depending on the amount of magazines stacked underneath the seating unit.

This modern solution for storing newspapers or magazines can do even more for you – place a tray on top and you have a modern side table prepared to become a stool if needed. Two sliding pieces of metal make this possible – they can rise between 28 cm and 52 cm. The white or grey painted steel with removable cushion will help you save space and adorn your home at the same time.  The German designer based in Dusseldorf has been working on many interesting pieces, but this versatile furniture/storage item caught our attention.
