“[Furniture] could be decorative, but our vision for KGT is more about making things disappear while still being accessible,” the designers said. “We like storage that is reduced and integrates well with our own furniture. We don‘t think storage furniture should be a statement.”
Additionally, KGT hangs off a wall vertically if needed. It can also become a display shelf or stored on the floor like an ottoman or bookshelf. Versatility was key to the design, which is important for how people use storage pieces.
“If you make things simple enough, people will find their own way to use them,” said the designers. “When we were designing KGT, we thought first of a discreet way of storing, stacking and carrying things. We realized that the dimensions of the box were potentially working in a variety of applications.”
