Book Storage System Helping You Cook with Enthusiasm: Kitchen Bull

Friday, September 9, 2011



Tired of waiting while your meal gets cooked?  Here is an ingenious way to turn that time into useful or fun reading.  Kitchen Bull comes from Toro Legno and acts like a miniature bookcase. Sure, the product is actually intended for cook books, but we know most of you out there would probably use it to store all kinds of magazines, novels, design articles and so on. Its design is witty and contemporary, making it easy to be integrated in a large variety of modern kitchens. The product also features a place where users can place knifes for easy access. Now for those of you who actually cook, it will be obvious that the ranging kitchen bull should be moved out of the cooking arena during the actual process, because otherwise the books would get all messy. So, Freshome readers with an appetite for experimenting in the kitchen, what do you think? – Via – Hometone

Fun and Creative: Face Shelving by Alexi Mccarthy

Wednesday, September 7, 2011



Here is an original shelving unit that falls under the category “do it yourself”. The Face Shelving comes from Alexi Mccarthy and is a cheerful storage unit for books and various small objects. The designer tells its story as follows: “It started from a chat my girlfriend and I were having. A year and a father-son project later, the very originally named ‘Face Shelving’ is finally done. The idea is that depending what you put in or on the shelves, you create different faces and expressions.” Paying tribute to simplicity, this unit is truly ingenious. Even though it would look great in a variety of colors, we particularly like the choice of red, which makes things…explosively fun. Enjoy imagining how the face on the wall would look with various book combinations on it and let us know if the designer triggered your appetite for creating something similar
