The glued together cans looks shiny and neat when it's empty, but I have to question its usefulness as actual storage space. The designer says it "can hold socks, underwear, fruit, keys, etc." In reality, I wouldn't put clothes like socks and underwear out for display on the wall, and getting items like keys and fruit out of the cans would be pretty awkward since most can openings are smaller than our hands.

Another example of design that looks better than it behaves.

XT Moveis (from Oporto, Portugal) furniture, all kind of accessories, lamps and paintings are absolutely brilliant and amazing. I can only say that I like very much the work/art of this couple of great artists. Sincerely!
