PEGBOARD

About

To keep things tidy and make use of underutilized vertical space, this giant pegboard was designed to be the centrepiece of the living room while being extremely versatile and functional. Its modularity allows seasonal customization to store and display different equipment including bikes, snowboards and skateboards while housing permanent living room fixtures such as home entertainment systems, routers and lighting. It features a custom-built utility box to hide unsightly wires, and different pegs and shelf lengths for easy customization. To minimize waste and offcuts, the pegboard was CNC’d with two full sheets of Baltic Birch plywood.
