Italian architect Alessandro Capellaro proves that reuse can be stylish with his Florence apartment. The space was originally a carpentry workshop, but Capellaro gave it a facelift by removing the walls and designing it to accomodate his 300+ wooden crates (more specifically, vintage ballot boxes) purchased at a local flea market. Boxes became storage, a coffee table, a platform for his bed, couch, desk, even walls.

I'm really in love with the cohesion, storage and usefulness of the whole thing. Just gorgeous!
Between the orange and the monotony of the crates, I feel depressed already.
Gorgeous place! Where can I find crates like this?
Love this...
I think when you have a ceiling and space like that you can decorate with almost anything and it will look amazing. I'd love to have those arches and all that big space.
The use of crates is amazing, as are the crates themselves. So many possibilities, from color to placement. Good job!
I love the 3rd photo - esp the daybed made from crate and the crates as bookcases echoed on the side.
This is noy only creative, it is stylish and beautiful. I have Crate Envy.
Love it. On some level, it reminds me of IKEA's Expedite, but far more genuine and interesting.
so cool !
Gives off a cool, almost monastic feel, really like it.
