Peta Sliding Storage System 1

Nothing is out of reach and even the smallest unused spaces around the house can be maximized with slick, self-closing storage system designs by Peka. Made of laser-cut steel, this durable system of pull-out organizers for various niches and cabinets features glass side walls so you can see everything at a glance, shelves with infinitely variable height adjustments, and magnetic dividers.

Instead of reaching into the depths of your pantry with a flashlight to find nearly-forgotten canned goods, for example, you could pull out the shelves in one motion to see the entire contents at a glance and access every corner. Wall-mounted organizers use vertical space wisely while narrow pull-outs use the slim space found beside dishwashers and in other areas of the kitchen.

Each organizer clips into a series of guide rails that are installed inside the cabinet or niche, and features a silent soft-opening and closing system that glides the shelves back into place after you’ve pulled them out, ensuring that even fragile glassware is protected.

One multi-use pull-out shelf system could be used for anything from cooking pans to dress shirts, while a broom-cupboard organizer offers sliding hooks and clips for vacuum hoses. While Peka products are widely available in Europe, they’re only available through a single distributor in North America.

Portable Aluminum Radiator Follows You Around Like a Pet

This refined object is a lovely melding of traditional and contemporary stylings. The Kangeri Nomadic Radiator from Satyendra Pakhalé (for Tubes Radiatori) provides portable heat that can come with you as you move from one room to the next in your home.

The name comes from traditional low-tech radiators called kangers: pots filled with hot embers used in Kashmir to keep individuals warm. While the traditional kanger was placed beneath the user’s clothing, the Kangeri warms the air in the area directly surrounding you. This cuts down on the need for central heating, which is expensive and often wasteful.

Another difference between the traditional kanger and the contemporary Kangeri is the addition of an electric heating element. Rather than placing hot coals into the pot, you plug it in and take it with you from room to room. The handy oak platform on top protects your hands from the hot aluminum body of the radiator.

Depending on your point of view, the Kangeri either resembles a huge teapot or a shiny snail. But however you see it, it is a sleek, lovely update on an indispensable home object.
