An issue with this design is that the maximum expansion of the horizontal boards for the base and the top tray is front to back, whereas for the vertical boards, it is top to bottom. I’ve tried to distill some of the insights into the Japanese approach to small cabinet construction that I’ve seen in traditional designs from Shuko-kai*, when I was in Tokyo (fig.1). This makes construction a bit more challenging. I’ve also kept the boards as thin as possible (8mm on the exterior and 6mm otherwise) to avoid a ‘chunky’ look. I’ve tried to get a minimalist look by using quartersawn bumpy ash ( Flindersia schottiana) to minimise the grain impact. I’ve been using one of these organisers for a few years and it’s become the place I go to for my keys, wallet, business cards, pencils, overdue bills and all the small things I want to be able to find again.
