The modern shoe rack

This Call for Ideas was specially conceived to be presented during the 2024 Milano Design Week. An initial, broader selection was physically showcased in our exhibition space in the Isola district, allowing design lovers to vote in person for the very first time.

The brief

The brief stems from new living needs. Shoes, once always hidden away, now take centre stage in a more dynamic lifestyle, reflecting a shift in our daily habits. The focus was therefore on finding a practical, beautiful, and functional solution—not the shoe rack of the future, but simply the one that was still missing in the present.
