Designers: Christine Nogtev and Chul Cheong @ roomsafari
I can’t resist telling about the story of my nephew first.
When he was very young he used to put any 3-4 things in sight together (hanky, phone, box, pin, thread, anything) and arrange in certain way and used to shout with glee -Hey! See I made a rocket, oven, a space ship, a telescope or a television!
Moral of the story: You don’t need too many and fancy things to create something – only a clever mind, openness and simplicity!
Take aluminium, be it brushed, piped or soft; doesn’t matter and bend and shape it. Lo and behold! Things are created to make life easy for you.
The beauty lies in designer‘s simplicity; in designer’s concern for your needs and being yogi (the one who doesn’t need much)!
So sir and ma’m here is aluminium and suction pads for many uses and few other things!
Multistation flexible holder’s bendable arms will take care of your favourite things.
No, don’t click the page away before you guess what it is!
