Clevr: Cut Attachez Table by Shay Alkalay
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 02. 6.08
Speaking of adding storage in unexpected places, Israeli designer Shay Alkalay (whose cheeky stain stickers we've mentioned before) has an artful, DIY-able solution. Called "Cut Attachez," the idea involves two careful cuts with a saw, a couple colorful runners and a drawer; a few minutes later, you have more storage (and a cooler table) than you used to.
Granted, it'd be a lot easier and more stable to just add a pull drawer, but we like the concept behind this idea. Alkalay looked at the table -- something many of us probably think of as just a place to put stuff on -- and envisioned a new, useful function for just about any table in your house. That doesn't mean we should all start hacking apart our tables, but it is a clever way to get more from what we've already got. Get up close and personal with more pics after the jump. ::Shay Alkalay via ::dezeen
If you're so starved for storage space that you begin adding these cancerous little shelves underneath all your flat surfaces, perhaps it would be more green to simply limit your accumulation of stuff.
it's a great start to a solution to some problem but who wants to cut into their furniture to make a drawer?
