D’dimension
June 28th, 2006
During the 2005 Year of Design in Sweden over 8.000 people took part in a vote in order to pick out smart and unique interior design. One of the most brilliant design concepts among the 5.000 entrants was Johan Sandströms smart shelf for unexploited spaces. That idea has turned into a company, producing furniture with an innovative design. And the guys at D’dimension don´t beat around the bush when they describe the purpose of their products. With the slogan “Less useless use” they want to introduce a new way of using and placing their furniture. The first product is a smart shelf based on Johan Sandström’s award-winning idea. The neat thing about it is its versatile placing possibilities: on the wall, under the staircase, in the closet, on the windowsill or perhaps under the cupboard? Your imagination is the only limit when it comes to gaining an extra dimension.
