A simple twist is a modular storage system. It is a wall mounted cubby, console table, stand alone bookcase or any other configuration you see fit. Not a wacky piece of art furniture, it is designed to be a modern, conservative collection of cubes, with an understated twist that garners attention and curiosity upon closer inspection. The box in question is rotated on three axes, perfectly intersecting the adjacent, inline cubes. Computer modeled and cut on a CNC router, it fits flawlessly making a strong joint along the intersecting portions. The twisted box actually penetrates the straight cubes on both sides. It can be customized and manufactured quickly and easily from any sheet stock material Colors, finishes and edge styles can all directed by the customer. An aluminum stand or wall mounted French cleats are available along with any number of additional boxes to complete the desired arrangement. A simpler, cheaper version is available with a single axis rotation. Further prototypes in development are children’s versions and outdoor planter boxes. The example shown here is done in walnut veneer, with a water based clear coat.
