Samsung X Dezeen "Out of the box"

Shoe storage bench for the Dezeen and Samsung “Out of the Box” competition where the goal was to create a second life for Samsung boxes.

Samsung's "Facade" storage bench is a place to store 6 pairs of shoes while keeping them hidden but accessible and even offering a surface to either sit or decorate.

Designed with a new homeowner or renter in mind who does not have enough furniture to fill their space but is discerning when it comes to their home environment, Facade is minimal, multi-functional and practical to build.

Facade’s simplicity is that it's composed of 6 rectangular parts: 1 x 2386 mm x 650 mm with 6 bends (or with proper testing likely 1193 mm x 650 mm with 2 bends), 4 x 275 mm x 320 mm shelves and 1 x 275 mm x 440 mm divider support (if needed).

Using a box cutter the user makes 7 cuts along the dot matrix pattern and scores 6 bends. From there it’s simply folded and the shelves slide in place locking it together. The design requires little work to prepare creating a rewarding and effortless experience while the pure/functional form compliments a multitude of spaces.
