This post is basically totally off topic for my blog, but I just love the creativity and practicality on display here. As the owner of complete wardrobes in quite a range of sizes, I have often thought about hitting my own storage closet and artistically re-purposing some pieces.

Product design initiatives for Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.
Project H Design connects the power of design to the people who need it most, and the places where it can make a real and lasting difference.
We are a team of designers, architects, and builders engaging locally through partnerships with social service organizations, communities, and schools to improve the quality of life for the socially overlooked. Our five-tenet design process (There is no design without action; We design WITH, not FOR; We document, share and measure; We start locally and scale globally, We design systems, not stuff) results in simple and effective design solutions for those without access to creative capital.
Our scalable long-term initiatives focus on improving environments, services, products, and experiences for youth and K-12 education institutions in the US through systems-level design thinking and deep community engagements.
My children are nearly 11 and nearly 14 and I STILL want one of these tables!
What Is the Portable Light Project?
More than 2 billion people live without electricity, most in extreme poverty. The Portable Light Project creates new ways to provide renewable power in solar textiles that can be adapted to meet the needs of people in different cultures and global regions. Portable Light textiles with flexible solar materials and solid state lighting enable the world’s poorest people to create and own energy harvesting bags, blankets, and clothing using local materials and traditional weaving and sewing techniques in an open source model.
Portable Light enables people in the developing world to benefit from flexible solar nano-technology and accelerates the movement to clean energy worldwide. Learn More

Stylish, simple, sleek and modern … are still not words we are entirely used to using when we describe the cold, cramped, enclosed rectangular boxes known best for shipping freight around the world on giant water vessels. More than many container home concepts, however, this design manages to bring together the best of modular thinking, mobile living and comfortable dwelling.
