Abstract
This design project proposes an innovative solution aimed at facilitating organized and democratic preparation for future crises, specifically targeting students and individuals residing in confined living
spaces. The proposed solution consists of two stackable storage
units designed to address this challenge. The first unit, referred to
as the “can storage,” is capable of accommodating up to 35 cans,
thereby ensuring self-sufficiency in the event of sudden disruptions to
food supply chains. The second storage unit, named the “other things
storage,” incorporates a versatile peg board and shelving system,
allowing for customization based on individual needs.

Together, these storage units offer a storage solution suitable... (More)
This design project proposes an innovative solution aimed at facilitating organized and democratic preparation for future crises, specifically targeting students and individuals residing in confined living
spaces. The proposed solution consists of two stackable storage
units designed to address this challenge. The first unit, referred to
as the “can storage,” is capable of accommodating up to 35 cans,
thereby ensuring self-sufficiency in the event of sudden disruptions to
food supply chains. The second storage unit, named the “other things
storage,” incorporates a versatile peg board and shelving system,
allowing for customization based on individual needs.

Together, these storage units offer a storage solution suitable for
individuals with irregular food consumption habits and limited storage capacities. The collaborative effort between the design project
and the food brand Eldorado has resulted in the selection of specific
food items for storage, namely canned tomatoes, cherry tomatoes,
chickpeas, red beans, and white beans in tomato sauce. The partnership with Eldorado is attributed to their provision of affordable and
high-quality staple foods. Notably, the cost of filling the storage units
amounts to a mere 350 Swedish Krona, enhancing the democratic nature of the prepping furniture by making it accessible to a wide range
of individuals.

By providing an efficient and customizable storage solution, this design project seeks to empower individuals living in small spaces to
prepare for future crises in an organized and unconscious manner. (Less)
