I have to say, the industrial design of this thing is fantastic.

the western addition is a somewhat shady neighborhood in San Francisco.

Makes me think of it. Every. Single. Time.

more importantly...

those awesome vintage industrial lights are being sold on etsy and will ship anywhere in the US and Canada!!! but i would have overlooked them because they're filed under New York!

Just moved into our first place this past spring. Still trying to figure out our "home." #5 was big early on. That and carpetting (necesary in our condo) went a long, long way to making this place our own. Now we are wrangling with #9...

i'm sorry. but where in this (or the source article) does it say that these were "found", "taken" or otherwise stolen?!

yes, they have purpose; and yes, i'm sure the industry in which they're used re-uses and/or eventually recycles them. But i really dont see why it's such a problem that some are repurposed for other uses. It's not like they've been carelessly cast into a landfill. People need to take a chill pill.

yeah... I dunno about all that stuff re: reusing these and causing more to enter the environment.

I have several of these and honestly don't have a clue how I came to own them. I use them for organzing stuff in my cars trunk, which they're great for...because they don't slide around - their shape is great for gripping the carpet.

as for the console, why these are upside-down and not utilized as storage is baffling to me.

Also, just a thought that occurred to me:

I would add a slot elsewhere on this, one that does not necessarily accomodate wine glasses, in order to allow more light to escape. Perhaps on the other end?... also offset?... maybe a different length? I just feel like this is 50% shelf, 30% wine rack, and 20% light fixture.... and it could use a little more light.

Sorry, I dont mean to come off like I dont like this design, I actually like it a lot. But as fellow a product designer, I can't help myself...

seems to me that the drawing doesn't match the prototype...

looks like the prototype is anchored along the long side, while the drawing shows that it is anchored at the end.

unless maybe this can only go in a corner?

Do you people realize how successful Dogloo's have been?!? I trust you all have lodged similar complaints with their manufacturer/designer?

people make dog houses and bird houses, why not a cat house? Why not shaped like a tipi? how is this racism?

Also, why does the white people equivelant have to be twin towers? i assume youre trying to create the most offensive comparison possible. I present the following: A cat house shape like hitler's head.

pet houses shaped like contemporary american dwellings have always existed. how is this different?

horizontal line running through the middle of the photo, thought this was a before/after pic until staring at it for quite some time.

was trying to figure out how a table with stuff on it turned into a lamp shade.
