Rushdrawer

Tired of your poorly planned, dull grey office?
Rushdrawer is a modular office storage
system designed for convenient access, easy
classification of documents and a secondary
function as a partition.
Time is a valuable commodity in the work environment. Speed and good time
management are generally crucial. Time
can be wasted, however, by the inefficient
placement of resources (such as files) in
locations far from workers’ desks. The sense
of space can feel restricted in offices where
drawers are banked up along one side wall.
The Rushdrawer can be placed near the wall
like typical drawer furniture, but it is designed
to open on all four sides. Thus it can prove
most functional when placed away from the
wall in the centre of a space.
Another advantage of the Rushdrawer is that each unit is modular so assembly and
disassembly are easy and fast, with no need
for tools. The modular nature of the system
means that only the required amount of
drawers need be purchased, and warehouse
storage space can be optimised prior to the
sale of the furniture. The Rushdrawer can also perform a second function as a partition within the office. The colours and dimensions of the Rushdrawer can be varied, and colour can be used as a categorisation method for the documents within. The Rushdrawer is dedicated to the salaried workers who wish they could save time at work and spend more time with their families.
