Modular Studio Cube

A sturdy, minimal storage unit that declutters my space and doubles as a seat.

2024

I designed and built a modular storage unit tailored for my studio space—a solution to declutter both the environment and the mind. Measuring 1200 x 900 mm and standing 480 mm tall with lockable wheels, the unit combines functionality with minimalistic design.

Constructed with a sturdy inner wooden frame for structural support and finished with 12mm multiplex for a clean, modern look, the unit is built to last. It features two compartments: an open shelf for easy access to books and a larger 900 x 900 mm storage area, concealed beneath a removable lid. Two strategically placed cut-out holes in the lid allow for effortless access to the compartment below.

Thanks to its mobility, the modular cube can adapt to changing needs in the studio, while its robust design doubles as a seating area when paired with a cushion. It’s a piece of furniture that simplifies my workspace while providing practical versatility.
