Hidden In Plain Sight

Statement-making storage pieces for every room in your home

1. COLOUR BLOCK

Why blend in when you were built to stand out? The Brik Umbrella Stand by Italian design company Pedrali does just that. Available in six vivid colours, the modular umbrella stand is made of matte, scratch-proof materials. $330, at Suite 22.

2. OPEN SPACE

As part of Alessi’s Blow Up collection, this dynamic magazine holder made of intersecting steel rods playfully unites positive and negative space in a collection of seemingly random configurations. $220, at Bergo Designs.

3. MODULAR DESIGN

Looking for versatility? Available in three groupings, the Elysée Bookshelf by Magis is uber modular. With a bentwood design, the striking storage unit can be wall-mounted or stand on its own. From $3,895, at Design Within Reach.

4. SMOOTH SAILING

Stylish simplicity is written all over the Curved Bench by Kristina Dam Studio. Made of beige powder-coated steel, this elegant and distinct multi-use bench is a standout piece in any home – yet it is still supremely functional. $2,095, at Stylegarage.

5. MAKING WAVES

The Vertigo Sideboard’s signature contour is a striking statement feature. Designed by Bonaldo, it was inspired by the undulating design of the movie poster for Albert Hitchcock’s film of the same name. Pricing upon request, at M-prove.
