Developed by South Korean born, Italian educated designer, <a href="http://www.designjoo.com/">Juli Kim</a>, the <a href="http://www.designjoo.com/index.php?/projects/font-size2giro-onefont/">Giro One</a> is a highly functional open cabinetry designed for the user to move and adjust depending on their needs and environment.

The height and rotation of the open shelf boxes can be changed as needed - and, it doesn't have to function merely as shelving - it can be a side table, lit up to serve as a vertical floor lamp or used in another way one can imagine.

I can see this working well in a modern or industrial kitchen space. The cubbies are great for storing regularly used items such as spices, the toaster and other small appliances, tableware or glassware. By reorienting their angle  you can show your glassware on one side and have appliances in the back away from the view of guests but close at hand for quick access. The dim lighting it emits makes it more of a sculptural element in the space than just any other cabinetry.

For the eco-lovers, the design is earth friendly with <em>nontoxic, recyclable material, ABS, with high impact resistance as well as abrasion resistance. </em>Oh, and the lighting is LED.

I would love to see this concept as a full scale product as I think it could very well inspire creativity as well as make the space look less than traditional.
