Ring Container module

The mobile storage Ring from B-Line is made of lacquered steel and oak wood and is characterized - in addition to the high-quality materials - by its excellent workmanship. The processed materials, metal and wood, form an exciting contrast to each other. This is further enhanced by the special design of the Ring mobile shelf chosen by Joe Colombo. The basic geometric shape of a cube is interrupted on two sides by circular recesses, which also serve as openings for storing objects and give the Ring mobile storage a sculptural Optik look. By stacking several Ring containers on top of each other, a shelf of the desired height is created.

As a coffee table, in an alcove, as a bedside table, kitchen shelf, office storage or in the dressing room - Ring is at home wherever a flexible and visually appealing storage solution is required. The easy-care surface can be cleaned quickly. Four plastic castors, which are available as accessories, guarantee the necessary stability even when fully loaded and keep the Ring container mobile at the same time. The Ring container can be ordered in two color variations: anthracite or white. With a length, width and height of 38 centimetres each, the castors of the mobile storage Ring are 4.5 centimetres higher, giving a total height of 42.5 centimetres.
