Yube Modular Furniture

I am going through the painful process of redecorating my home office. Caught on a tight budget, being picky on the design sensibilities and opting for some sense of eco-consciousness is not helping my case at all. Just when I was about to give up on finding any ‘fashion forward’ thinking styles for shelves, tables and cupboards, I stumbled upon the magic of Yube Modular Furniture. The focus being modularity, sustainability and customization, Yube is ideal for me and those who care about style and functionality.

The Award-winning Yube modules are 13-inch cubes crafted exclusively from recyclable and biodegradable materials.The modules are constructed from reconstituted sugar cane waste fibers. The frames are made of ‘Woodlite’, a moldable thermoplastic mixed with fiber made from bamboo and timber waste material. This aligns with the current trend of eco-consciousness. The good thing about assembling the cubes is that they snap together easily and lock rigidly when the back panel is slid into place. To give it your own signature style, you can play with the range of funky accessories – doors, feet, shelves and drawers; kinda like ‘LEGO for adults!’

I love the fact that you can create tables, desks, bookcases, shelves, room-dividers and many more layouts by just using a few of these simple modules. The basic Yube unit is a 13 inch cube that can be integrated with other Yube cubes and accessories – doors, feet, shelves, storage drawers and the likes.

Using the System

  • Yubes can be stacked horizontally and vertically in any configuration, including, back-to-back, side-by-side and top-to-bottom.
  • Yube can be decorated with color and images. Panels can be stenciled or painted and an online application allows you to upload any image and create a unique door.
  • New Yubes can be purchased and added to existing structures making Yube endlessly variable and expandable.
  • Tool-free assembly means that the following components: four identical frames with preinstalled outer panels, one set of mounting pins to connect or stack Yubes and one back panel, can be put together in a jiffy!

Yube co-founders Chairman Errol Drew and President Jeff Greenstein have done a commendable job of providing us stylish yet affordable modular furniture. Going a step further to make Yube fit your budget and style, I’ve convinced the team to give a special 10% off to YD Readers!

De-clutter Desk With Modular Modo

If you feel a twinge of embarrassment when you look at the clutter on your desk, then you are in serious need of help. Pens, wires, gadgets, basically the contents of a junk drawer strewn across is what best describes most office desks around the world. Modo or Modular Desktop Organizer is the answer we all have been waiting for. This functional Chinese-checkered kind of board adapts to the needs of your desk and makes it look worthy of the shining success that you are.

Zen and balance in life is achieved if all the elements are in sync with each other. You may own the best of the Smartphone, tablet and the most expensive pens, but what good are these if they are not in harmony with your surroundings. It takes a little creative genius to see the value in orienting horizontal wall pegs, downsizing them and placing them as verticals. Crafted from naturally warm bamboo and matte finished aircraft grade aluminum, this customizable plug n organize system will conform to whatever devices and equipments you use now and in the future.

Details about Modo and B&A Studio can be found here.

Key Features:

  • The Modo pins can be spaced in any configuration to store items like the tablet, computers, note books / pads, phones, hard drives, letters …
  • The Modo band can be used for pens pencils and other items
  • The Modo balls can be used as pin or tack cushions
  • The Modo caps provide extra protection for your device screens and double up as stylus tips

Accommodating Strip

You can only understand the value of a good power strip when you own too many devices. I am literally joined to the hip with my iPad, iPhone and camera on any given day. So a good power strip that can accommodate the various charger heads is a welcome design. The Modular Power Strip Concept is a step in this direction and I think someone should make it now!

The concept aims at providing us with a versatile power strip that can be expanded as well as easily accepts large power receptacles that typically can cover other outlets. Have a look at the video here for more details.

Bowlgami

You don’t usually think of the most basic of items as having potential or the necessity of being modular (especially when it’s something as simple as a bowl) but here’s a design that works. Inspired by a type of origami that uses a modular system to create various, infinite forms, the Modular Bowl can be customized to any size simply by combining triangular units. Perfect for modern spaces, the multifaceted segments create a striking geometric visual that’s distinct from other platters and presentation bowls.
