Space Saving Brilliant Idea


It took a few double takes, until I realized what this is, but I have to say, that I think it's brilliant.

Check out the Shoe Wheel by Rakku. It has 20 expandable pockets that can hold up to 30 pairs of shoes and you can adjust the tension, so it rotates only as quickly as you want it.

It comes in a variety of colors, but I'm rather partial to this pink one. And I keep looking at it and thinking that there are other uses for it. (anything to do with glass or beads?)

It makes me wonder whether it originally was meant to be a fan, but found a new life in this product. The shoes are housed in transparent pockets with elastic holding them in securely.

And I know it's wrong, but I can't help but imagine little hamsters in each of the pockets going around like a carnival's ferris wheel. Okay, I'm working to get that image out of my mind.

See you tomorrow

  1. I'm a big fan of clever design and this item is amazing! I live in a very small house and if I had lots of shoes (like I did when I worked a real job!) I would definitely get one of these.

  2. That is really creative! I love the way people, and in this case, literally think outside the box. Pardon the pun.
