The dead plant is a nice touch.

It's plastic. Available from Ickea for 5.99 and called Schlorpobrotto.
You may not like it, but this is what peak Buy It For Life looks like.
Amateur hour! The cinder blocks are all aligned and could more easily tip over; stagger those joints! The top will scratch your phone; put a piece of wood, cardboard, or an old shirt on top to protect it. Also, throw away that phone box, that shit ain't collectable.
Maybe I'll need that phone box in the future
I will admit that I store old phones in the original box.
Same with some old computer parts.
I think this is less "male" and more "poverty".
You can probably find a used nightstand for free easier than finding/buying those blocks to haul to your apartment.
First thought in a male brain seeing this: "wow, practical".
Then i saw the text.
My first thought was : that is a stout table, not going anywhere, modular , hmm 🤔
"Modular storage system. Our proprietary ceramic material comes from natural mineral and reclaimed resources. Modern industrial aesthetic leverages influences from brutalist architecture. Available as individual components or engineered systems. Call to schedule a consultation."
I scraped my knuckles just looking at that
Cinderblocks are literally just legos for adults. Not because it's more mature or anything, but because it's cheaper.
Except, you know what I discovered just LOVES to live in cinder blocks? For instance the stack I had on my balcony? Black Widow Spiders, that's who. Whole families of them, each in a section, with egg sacs.
so...you're telling me you built a condo for black minorities and now you want to evict them?
just calling a shoe a shoe here, but....
Yeah, seriously, make that in wood and it would be a hit.
The most popular shelves are just a bunch of cubes, one side open, slapped together.
Jesus could you imagine stubbing your toe on that in the middle of the night
Furniture maker here: Would a night stand with open cubbies on the front like that be popular? That would be fairly easy to build out of wood.
Honestly yeah.
The ability to have your mess slightly better organized, and cheap.
Yeah
I like it except would definitely have to put those little round felt pads for chair feet under it to protect the floor.
Amazing brutalist aesthetic
The zyn hanging on the wall says everything I need to know about this person.
This guys a damn genius
The design is a awesome, but come on don't put it directly over the floor, put a rag or something under it.
Just jealous because I didn't need $40k to furnish my home.
My grandmother had a stack of these in her basement and had them all crisscrossed. It is where she stashed her money. She claimed it was fireproof, she didn't have to memorize a combination and nobody would take the time to pull them all apart if they didn't know what was in them.
Damn, this is both beautiful and functional. 10/10
I just sleep on the floor in a circle of boxes with my things in them. Get on my level.
looks fine too me (i use cardboard box pieces as shelves)
remember the days when you could find giant wooden wire spools to use as furniture? Those were better days. They even had holes predrilled in the middle if you wanted to use it outside as a patio table. They were much better tables than the crap thats on sale today.
in my country from spring to fall banned to walk in forests because of fire risks, in winter everywhere is deadly cold(!) or wet and if you live in city good luck to find a workshop to work
First thing I thought of when I saw that is "Hey, that's just Kallax!"
My girlfriend and I have just moved into a new home and we're decorating the living room. It's still a work in progress, but we've painted the wall and put up some Kallax!
There's going to be some drawers and doors and stuff, but this is what it looks like so far ❤️
Edit: for those of you eagle eyed enough to think "wtf even is that in the picture?" I can explain. It's a pokéball drinks coaster made from hammer beads!
