A shoe rack. But better. This is the deceitfully simple briefing that led
Util to its latest collab: the UTIL X JAK Shoe Rack, a storage solution
made in partnership with (also Portuguese) minimalist shoe company
that helps you keep your rotation shoes on display.
Designed by Jeanne Mercier, the starting point for the Shoe Rack was
to build an object that could easily blend in urban flats with space
restriction; something discreet enough, but also worthy of becoming
a highlight in any space. The result is a stackable shoe rack that can
be used as self-standing rack or wall-mounted, each in two different
positions.
By expanding its functionality, the Shoe Rack transformed from
furniture born to be hidden away, into an object that can easily become
the bold highlight of any space — or a subtle spotlight for prized shoes.
