[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] As the COVID-19 pandemic has prolonged homebound life, consumers' needs to neatly decorate their homes through home interior design are growing.

In particular, interest in storage furniture is increasing as TV entertainment programs and interior-related books that suggest interior direction through organizing items gain popularity.

Accordingly, the furniture industry is actively promoting storage furniture products that enhance not only space efficiency but also the atmosphere of the home, launching a summer storage furniture battle.

Organize Items Without Worrying About Weight or Volume with Freely Adjustable Sizes, Sangdo Furniture's 'Monster Rack'

Sangdo Furniture's Monster Rack, an essential piece of furniture for organizing, is named for its monster-level storage capacity and is the company's representative storage furniture emphasizing durability, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

The Monster Rack is a steel rack shelf ideal for organizing various items left unattended due to lack of storage space in one place. Its simple design and ultra-strong steel frame make it suitable for storing heavy camping equipment as well as kitchen and childcare items. It is highly practical as it can also be used as a planter, bookshelf, or hanger.

The Monster Rack lineup includes the basic product with various additional storage options using S-hooks, the 'Monster Rack Plus' which has contact points located inside for a neat look, and the 'Monster Rack Custom' which can be custom-made to desired sizes. Its bolt-free assembly allows even those without handy skills to easily assemble and disassemble it, and the width, height, and number of shelves can be adjusted to fit the space.

Enhancing Space Efficiency with Storage Beds... Ace Bed's 'Teenster'

Ace Bed recently launched two storage bed models for single users in super single size: 'Teenster' and 'Omajo.'

The Teenster bed increases space utilization by providing storage space on the top and sides of the headboard. The 120 mm storage space on the top of the headboard is suitable for storing small daily items. For safety, a lip of about 15 mm is applied on the front to prevent items from falling during storage.

The Omajo features a slim headboard that can be used on both sides. It uses a high-quality finish with a natural oak grain pattern, creating a cozy atmosphere throughout the bedroom.

An industry official stated, "The perception that organizing is the start of interior design is spreading through interior books and TV programs related to organizing," adding, "As a result, products with excellent design and storage capacity are stimulating the consumption psychology of homebound consumers, and with the increase in small households, the demand for storage furniture is expected to continue."
