What the milk crate is to college-aged kids furnishing dorms or homes, the PIXEL is to adults doing work. Designed by Austrian architect Didi Lenz, it’s a plywood cube (roughly 36cm / 14 3/8″ cubed) that can be used as a standalone storage object, or stacked like milk crates to build benches, cabinets, tables, seating, et cetera.
“PIXEL isn’t furniture,” Lenz insists. “PIXEL is a flexible module that can serve various functions in space for everyone. A high table for a workshop, a desk for students, a shelving system for a store, a bar for a party. Anything’s possible with inspiration and improvisation. This is exactly what PIXEL is made for – it’s an all-purpose tool at times of constant change.”
Accessories include lids, trays, tops, wheeled bases, seat cushions, shelving racks, organizer inserts and a whiteboard holder.





PIXEL is in production by Austrian office furniture manufacturer Bene, where Lenz is an Innovation Ambassador.
