# Cargo Culinary Containers Inbox by Design Studio Labyrinth is a Clever Set for Stowing Trinkets By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbox-by-design-studio-labyrinth References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2012/01/palette-it.html) & [labyrinth-bcn](http://www.labyrinth-bcn.com/en/component/virtuemart/?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=128&category_id=1) Inbox by Design Studio Labyrinth is not the first warehouse-inspired set that the company has scaled down for domestic use, but it delivers a lighthearted charm different to that of the Palette-It skid coaster. Embodying the boxy forms of big cargo containers, these [nesting chests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox) are best suited for lesser loads like [kitchen implements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection), art supplies and household knickknacks. Each [pine crate pen holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray210) is reinforced with a wooden frame and equipped with a square lid for concealing contents. The light lumber is playfully branded with an assortment of symbols that one would find on a coffer ten times its size. The smallest piece measures 7.5 centimeters in every dimension while the largest is 12 cubic centimeters. Too tiny to serve as effective domestic storage, they are whimsical accessories designed for everyday use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Warehouse-inspired Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create furniture and storage solutions that mimic the aesthetic and functionality of cargo containers on a smaller scale. - **Nesting Chests:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop compact and stackable storage solutions for specific items like kitchen implements, art supplies, and household knickknacks. - **Playful Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate playful symbols and branding on everyday items and accessories to add a touch of whimsy and personality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and design techniques to create unique furniture pieces inspired by unconventional sources such as warehouses and cargo containers. - **Home Organization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent novel and efficient storage solutions for various household items, addressing specific needs and enhancing interior organization. - **Product Branding and Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce playful and creative branding elements to everyday products, enhancing their appeal and distinguishing them from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage Box-Transformed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunks-and-blocks.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md) - [Metallic Multifunctional Storage Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabine-101.md) - [Adorable Luxurious Storage Compartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-storage-compartment.md) - [Carved Timber Workstation Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organization-kit.md) - [Compact Furniture Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxed-collection.md) - [Harbor-Inspired Storage Trolleys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harbor-051.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Quirky Trinket Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-box.md)
