We Are Always Moving: Icons of the Small Apartment, Wood Redux

February 14, 2017

Finally, an upgrade for milk crates and cinder blocks, the old staples of apartment life: Minneapolis-based We Are Always Moving Industries (WAAM) remakes the classics in lightweight wood. Here’s a look at the collection.

Above: WAAM’s birch plywood Milk Crates are an improvement on plastic, and can be “flipped, stacked, carried, or wall-mounted.” Available in four sizes; from $45.

Above: The Short Long Milk Crate transforms into a small-space shelf when hung from a wall; $65. WAAM also makes a Dog Bowl attachment, a lid with inset bowls for canine companions; $100.

Above: Another apartment icon, the cinder block, gets a rethink in Douglas fir—a much lighter material than concrete for stacking and rearranging. WAAM’s Tinder Blocks start at $48.

Above: The Tinder Blocks come in two sizes and two styles: flat top and classic. At two feet tall, the large classic makes a petite bedside table; $60.

we are always moving sliding boxes 21

Above: WAAM’s Sliding Lid Boxes can “stack and stow” and are perfect “on your desk, in your drawer, or even in the car.” Available in two sizes: small, $22, and large, $25.
