Architecture-Inspired Storage

Sophie Mensen Designs Structurally-Supportive Storage

I guarantee you'll be contemplating adding an extra pillar or two to your home after you've checked out Sophie Mensen and her 'Column' storage system. The 'Column' is a suspended wooden pillar with a marble cube base that houses a number of drawers and cabinets.

The marble cube acts as a stepping stool allowing you to reach the top levels of the 'Column.' Pillars are hardly ever considered to be anything but architectural necessities, which is what makes Sophie Mensen's 'Column' so cool and original.
