Minimalist Standing Storage

This Simple Storage Unit is Visually Appealing and Efficient

— April 9, 2014 — Art & Design
This achingly simple storage unit by Notre Design Studio is the perfect rack to keep at the door.

Made using steel tubes with an oak base, this stunning clothes rack by the Swedish firm will look good wherever you decide to place it and will carry a fairly large amount of clothes and trinkets.

Designed for the Spanish company Punt, this simple storage unit was originally created for the storage of outerwear such as coats and footwear -- but what you decide to do with it is up to you.

"In Scandinavia it is very common to take off your shoes when you come home and there is always a problem with where to put them," says Cristiano Pigazzini of Note Design Studio. "Everyday stuff like shoes and bags in the hallway or sleeping room that lands on the floor looks messy and out of order."
Trend Themes
1. Simple Storage Solutions - There is an opportunity for developing more minimalist storage solutions that blend seamlessly into contemporary decor.
2. Multipurpose Furniture - Designing furniture that has multiple uses, like this storage unit that can also be used as a coat rack, can appeal to consumers looking to optimize their living spaces.
3. Scandinavian-inspired Decor - The popularity of minimalist design from Nordic countries can be capitalized on by developing products that cater to this design aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - The furniture industry can develop more minimalist and versatile storage solutions like this unit that can appeal to consumers looking for functional design.
2. Home Decor - Home decor companies can cater to the trend of Scandinavian-inspired design by creating products that are simple, functional, and visually pleasing.
3. Retail - Retailers can stock products that cater to the trend of simple, multipurpose, and Scandinavian-inspired design for consumers who prioritize minimalist living.
