The system can also be used as a showcase for other domestic objects such as paintings, photographs, ceramics, etc. By making minor adjustments to its measurements new modules can be created for jewelry, books, electronic equipment, wine bottles, cigars, safe box, and the storage of kids clothes.

This is a furniture system that takes as a starting point the traditional wardrobe and glass cabinet, and by mixing them together it comes up with a joyful and playful solution, that is yet practical, flexible and that addresses the contemporary needs for storing clothes.
The product was designed as a visually light, soft and transparent system, that provides a wide range of volumetric plays, color combinations, lighting effects and reflections, which enrich the visual experience of the interior space where it is found.

The system consists of a series of modules and bases that can be mixed together to bring ongoing flexibility to the client. They can be configured as needed, depending on the storage needs, the space constraints and the financial possibilities of each client.
The system has the following type of bases:
- Straight: both in short and long versions
- Basket: both in short and long versions
The system has the following categories of modules:
- Clean clothes: includes 4 modules, one for hanging clothes, one with shelves, one for hanging long clothes and one with drawers of 3 different kinds.
- Semi-clean clothes: includes 1 module, which allows the ventilation of clothes already used ny the client.
- Laundry: includes 1 module, which includes two laundry bags, one for color clothes and one for white clothes. These bags can be easily taken off the module and be taken to the laundry room.
- Accessories: included 2 modules, one for storing bags and purses and the other for shoes and boots.

The system takes into consideration the criteria of sustainability by several means:
- Materials: All the materials involved (solid wood, wood composite, paint, brass and glass) are considered to be sourced with the highest sustainability standards.
- Movability: The system is designed so that the users can move with the product from home to home, giving the product a larger span of life.
- Changeability: The system is designed to allow changes regarding its finishes, so the customers may change over time the color of the solid panels or the type of wood found on the frames, without disregarding the product and making a considerable new investment.
