Dutch designer Carolien Laro has been on the blog rounds lately for her Restless Legs stool, seen above; but the rest of her book is also well worth a gander.
Laro's Memo-clip-bord stays with the idea of placing cuts in wood to give it a springiness:
Using similar techniques, her Boekenverzamelaar gets demonstrably fatter (but stays stable) as a bibliophile fills it up:
And we dig her personal toolbox, which doesn't use the wood-spring technique but has cool pivoting compartments to add some functional panache to the standard storage-rectangle.
