Rotate 90 degrees, omit the acrylic, easy access to all cans. Maybe not practical for earthquake prone regions, but hard to beat the space you gain from solutio

  Removing easy access to all cans was a design goal: > the problem was keeping only one kind of can in each row - if one person went rouge on you, it's was all over

    > if one person went rouge on you, it's was all over Sure, but who keeps their makeup in the kitchen? Seriously, though, yeah... This build was for the author themselves, so as long as they like it, it was successful. But it's also a great example of the sort of elegant problem solving engineers (like my dad... Almost exactly) would implement unilaterally without consulting the people that use the kitchen far more than he does. This is why designers exist.

      In this case it also has decorative purposes: horizontal shelving in this space would be boring. So it sacrifices utility for the sake of decor.

        Like I said, since the author made it for themselves, it's successful if they like it. But as a former chef with an art degree that tertiarily included both sculpture and interior design, I disagree that the decorative component of this furniture makes up for the lack of utility in the way most people use canned food.
