Draw inspiration from design products
Product designers try to create products that apart from eye-catching are functional and useful. Their work can become a great source of inspiration for young crafters. Take a look at some of the most interesting wall mounted systems, designed by professional designers and architects.
- Uten.Silo by Dorothee Becker. The product has containers of different shapes and sizes, metal hooks and clips bringing order to offices, kitchens, workshops, bathrooms and childern's rooms.
- Suburbia modern wall storage by Note design studio. The unit resembles an aerial view of a town, since each cubby represents a house or sections of a building.
- Cuppo by Ideaco, is a small container that can be attatched to any surface.
