Linea: A Minimalist Storage System

A Functional and Decorative Piece of Furniture

Linea is a minimalist storage design proposal inspired by the simplicity of the line. Created by Alvaro Diaz Hernandez, this storage system is not only functional but also environmentally friendly, as it is made from recycled materials. With its light and rigid structure, Linea can be easily displaced and used in various settings, from under a desk for folder storage to a bedroom or living room for decorative items.

Linea stands out for its unique properties and strengths. The design is based on the concept of "less is more," embracing minimalism in both form and function. The use of iron rods creates a visually appealing structure that is also highly functional. The storage system is designed to hold books, folders, small objects, and accessories, making it an ideal exhibitor for various items.

The manufacturing process of Linea involves cutting, bending, welding, and painting iron rods to create the structure. The dimensions of the storage system are 70 x 29 x 28 cm, and it weighs only 1 kg, making it lightweight and easy to handle.

One of the notable features of Linea is its versatility. It can be customized to suit individual preferences, allowing customers to choose the color and finish that best fit their style. The design research behind Linea focused on creating a minimalistic, subtle, and functional formal language that blends seamlessly with any interior.

Despite the creative and technical challenges faced during the design process, Linea successfully combines aesthetics and functionality. The use of recycled materials not only adds to its environmental appeal but also contributes to its durability and resistance.

In recognition of its outstanding design, Linea was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2015. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

With its minimalist design and functional features, Linea offers a unique storage solution that adds a touch of elegance to any space. Whether used in a home office, bedroom, or living room, Linea is sure to impress with its simplicity and versatility.
