Story
A storage unit for the studio's own papers
The page says Note (design studio) wanted a unit to house its collection of magazines, drawings and objects, and took the creative chaos of working from home as its starting point.
The V-shaped surface
The design feature the page singles out is a V built into the surface of the trolley, so that stacked books can be stored and displayed. The page gives the studio's brief and this feature as the whole account of how the piece came about.
