Cube Gallery presents Jonathan Olivares

With stylish, adaptable co-working spaces and home offices becoming the norm, more and more designers are focusing on creating quality, aesthetically pleasing designs that offer the ultimate marriage of form and function.

One such designer is US-based Jonathan Olivares who recently unveiled his design for a metal storage unit design for Italian brand Danese.

Named the Smith Pro, the storage unit comes with castors, is available in two sizes and can function as either a mobile desk or informal seating, both with storage capacity.

In addition, the adaptable design allows for the units to be suspended from a desk or moved around the office as needed.

“Smith Pro is a moveable multifunctional storage that differs completely from any other classical type of furniture and stems from contemporary needs of living in both work and home environments,” explains Danese.

“It belongs to the new generation of hybrid and versatile objects developed by Danese, in which the user changes his/her perception of the object. It represents the mobile extension of our territories and can store anything. It is a private space in which you can arrange your own world of objects and with which you can live your daily life.”

“Smith Pro is most of all a secondary worktop that you can put next to your working position to add a useful working surface and support all the other technological devices that, nowadays, are essential to our working environment. It is perfect to hold a printer and the shelf down below is big enough for A3 sheets of paper. This is why it can be seen as an extension of classical worktops and can be used in other situations and for multiple purposes. It replaces the classical chest of drawers and it is suitable for all those working circumstances in which the digital pieces of equipment finally have a dedicated space.”

The units come in white, red, black or grey and are locally available through Cube Gallery.
