A-Series Storage (above) is inspired by ISO paper sizes, with each unit made from material that is more processed than the one preceding it.

Here's some text from the designers:
--
hundredstenunits collection one
Each product was designed to be simple, useful and easy to manufacture; guided by a modernist aesthetic, but not overworked; un-designed, crafted. We are currently prototyping pieces locally in preparation for the London Design Festival in September 2009.

The result of a continuing creative dialogue between Matt Bassett, David Horan and Tom Nelson; hundredstensunits was established in order to design and manufacture simple, beautiful and useful products utilising local resources and expertise.
