The architectural storage unit is a sophisticated revolutionary storage device that has the capabilities of storing architectural products, commercial products, personal products and bits that dont fit in anything else. The unit is designed to elegantly fit into any environment. The unit is made out of lightweight varnished plywood that sits on top of the unit and holds together all the drawers.

The unit is sophisticated and designed to suit offices, rooms and houses
