Dezeen Showroom: architect Julien De Smedt's iconic Stacked Storage System for Muuto is now available in midnight blue.

Both the classic Stacked system and the Mini version now come in the new colour.

"Within the Muuto storage solution collection, Julien De Smedt's iconic Stacked and Mini Stacked Storage System is introduced in midnight blue adding a sophisticated contrast to the modern storage system," said the Danish brand.

"Being both versatile and functional, the Stacked Storage System can be arranged and rearranged for the exact configuration that you’d like, whether it be as shelving setups, sideboards, bookcases or side table."

Originally designed in 2009, Stacked consists of modular shelving units that can be placed on top of each other to create free-standing or wall-mounted storage. The units are held together by metal clips.

"Shelving systems have a tendency to achieve one concern but never both," said Belgian architect De Smedt, who heads Brussels studio JDS Architects.

"We decided to dimension shelving units based on the generic measurements of things to store and display while allowing for them to be combined according to specific needs and desires," said the architect. "The result can be at times a random stack of boxes or a coordinated grid of efficient storage… or both!"
