# Modular Tube Drawing Holders The ODO Arkitube is Ideal for Architects to Keep Designs Safe By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkitube References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/arkitube-modular-presentation-tube-odo-aerospace-aluminum-08-21-2014/) & [odo.co](http://www.odo.co/) The Arkitube is a new design from the agency ODO that allows architects to keep their drawings safe in a sleek [modular tube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-construction). Considering that a lot of architecture is all about intelligent and aesthetically pleasing looks, it makes sense to ensure that all tools (including drawing holders), appear just as good. "Arkitube is crafted out of high quality, [aerospace aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu-collection) extrusions," as stated on DesignBoom, which means that the tube can withstand dropping and will not dent easily. Most importantly, it will keep belongings secure and wrinkle-free, something that architects consider highly when transporting certain belongings. The device is also water-resistant, just in case one is caught in the rain in between meetings. For architects who like to transport drawings in style the Arkitube is the way to go.
