Collapsibles are cool tools

By TERRI SAPIENZA

WASHINGTON POST

"Collapse (kuh-LAPS) vi: To fall down or fall to pieces; to cave in, fail, shrink together; to fall down or break down suddenly."

"Collapsibles are smart, man-made objects with the capacity to adjust in size to meet a practical need," writes Danish designer Per Mollerup, author of "Collapsible: The Genius of Space-Saving Design."

We like his definition. Collapsibles are cool - compact, condensed and the perfect solution for maximizing space in a room, closet or cabinet, no matter how small.
