stacking

We found stacked items EVERYWHERE. Stacking is used as a very functional thing; to save space when you want to put it away. But it is also used to customize and combine over and over again, to play with as grown-up toys or as a decorative ‘tribal’ element to create miniature totempoles. As seen @ Vij5, Ventura Lambrate, Rossana Orlandi, La Chance, Design Academy, HAY, Rosenthal
