HobbyZone's Modular Workshop System for Dense, Compact Organization of Tools & Materials
Impossibly tidy workstations
By Rain Noe - May 11, 2018
I am in awe of those who can keep a tidy workspace. Both my shop and my desk consist of clutter and chaos, the lack of organization surely reducing my productivity. So whenever I see an effective organizing system in use, maintained by end users with the discipline to obey its dictates, I gaze at it wistfully.
A Poland-based company called HobbyZone designs modular storage components for those engaged in miniature modelmaking. That sort of work requires paint, adhesives, brushes, small hand tools, bins to store small parts, et cetera; nearly everything that needs to be stored is small, with the largest item often being a roll of paper towels for cleanup. Thus HobbyZone has created a variety of small storage components--drawers, racks, shelves, compartments--that the end user can pick and choose from.

He's got the reference photos on the right, pulls all of the relevant paints off of the storage rack up top and places them in the arc-shaped rack on the worksurface along with a handful of brushes.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
