Push and Store Cabinet by Chung-Tang Ho

Push and Store Cabinet, 2006

The Push and Store Cabinet by Chung-Tang Ho, designed for Droog in 2006, is a unique storage piece that works in a very simple and interactive way. Instead of shelves or drawers, the cabinet is filled with many thin wooden rods. When you want to store something, you just push the object into the cabinet. The rods move back and adjust to the shape of the object, holding it in place.

As you use it, the cabinet changes its form depending on what you put inside. The objects you store become visible through the movement of the rods, turning the cabinet into something that looks different every time. This design makes storage easy and playful. It also shows how everyday furniture can be more interactive and creative, not just practical.
