 1’ x 1’ x 4’ spaces for things

year: 2023

status: built

location: minneapolis, minnesota

type: furniture

design: ray heikkila

The project is built using 4’x8’ sheets of 1/2” birch plywood and a 2’x4’ sheet of 1/2'' birch plywood. The plywood is cut in an elementary way to get the most out of a sheet of plywood, and screwed together to form 1’x1’x1’ spaces.

Clothing or objects are intentionally left on display rather than being concealed. Their inconsistencies in color, shape, and material are lightly held together by the simple repetitive plywood frame. The spaces are currently used to store clothing but can be used to store anything that fits.
