Form Meets Function: A Versatile Seating and Storage Solution
It took 87 years for the Nostalgi rack to get a bench in the product family.
Even so, the bench seems obvious as an addition to the product family. Inspired by the hat and shoe rack, Roger Persson has designed a flexible and sturdy product that extends indefinitely with the help of middle brackets.
But it can also function as a free-standing shoe rack, a seat to tie your shoes on at the entrance, or even a combination of the two. As with the other Nostalgi products, the brackets are made of recycled aluminium, joined by metal or wooden bars.
