Giant Glossy Lego® Storage Blocks In Nine Fun Colors.

A long time ago I introduced you to Lego-like furniture in the form of Luna Blocks. Now, fun new glossy plastic storage bins, officially licensed by Lego® and made exclusively for STORE, are available in 9 fun colors. Included in the collection is a large LEGO man head (also called a Minifig head).




The sad news is that they're so big, STORE can currently can only ship the LEGO storage boxes to UK, Ireland, BFPO and Benelux countries. They say it's simply too expensive to ship to North America, Australia etc., but have claimed they're working on it!



The large bins have 8 knobs, the small bins have 4. The LEGO MAN (minifig) storage head is available in one size only.

Misha Kahn's Cabinet. Everything In (And Out Of) It's Place.

An awesome cabinet project by student Misha Kahn. Raised in Duluth, Minneapolis, the furniture designer (RISD, class of 2011) devised a way to keep everything in its place. And a great looking piece when everything is out of it's place.








His (yes, Misha is male) description of the piece:
"After scanning the hoards of chachkis (sic)* lying on my bedroom floor I printed out life size puzzle pieces and arranged them into this curious thought bubble. Constructed of laser cut mdf, and pink foam, then fiberglassed and coated with molded polysterene. The interior is painted and flocked, with hardwood (dovetailed) drawers, and door. Stands 7 feet’ 6” inches high.
*I know he meant tchotchkes, I spoke with him ;)

Thanks to Apartment Therapy for bringing Misha to my attention.
