Inspiration for your own neighborhood cupboard, by Erik

Add a personal touch to your neighborhood with Erik's swap box for books and stuff

Are you looking for a way to make your neighborhood more cozy and interactive? Get inspired by Erik, who designed and realized a beautiful neighborhood exchange cabinet for books and stuff. This cabinet is not only an eye-catcher in the street, but also a central point for residents to share stuff and reading material with each other.

The unique design of the exchange box

The design phase is crucial and Erik has handled this cleverly by choosing a design that is not only functional, but also stands out. The cabinet has a homely shape with two separate compartments, adorned by the integrated, diagonal shelves that give the exterior a playful look. The details and size were determined by Erik and then sawn and delivered by TOSIZE.ie. This made the realization of the project a lot more manageable.

The colorful finish attracts attention

The swap cabinet is finished in a vibrant colour that makes it stand out and invites use. The cheerful pink finish makes it a joy to stop and browse through the items the community has to offer. In addition, the choice of Multiplex Okoumé Water-resistant B/BB 18 mm wood is a smart move, as it ensures durability and low maintenance.

Fits perfectly in any outdoor space

Where the cabinet is placed is at least as important as the design itself. Erik's choice to place the cabinet in a public, outdoor space emphasizes the cozy and social atmosphere of the neighborhood. It is clearly visible to passers-by, making it easy to grab a book on the way home or donate something during an evening walk.

Making it yourself offers endless advantages

Realizing a project like this yourself gives flexibility in dimensions and freedom in choice of materials. Depending on your wishes and the needs of the neighborhood, you can make the cabinet bigger or smaller. And as for the budget: by doing it yourself, you can save costs and adjust the project to what you want to spend.

Stylish and practical: the complete picture

The style of the project can be described as modern with a playful touch. The clean lines combined with the warm wood tones and the bold colour make it a relevant and eye-catching object in any setting.

Why Multiplex Okoumé is a smart choice

Okoumé plywood is known for its water-resistant properties, making it ideal for outdoor projects such as this cabinet. The strength and stability of the 18 mm thick panel ensure that the cabinet can withstand various weather conditions. By choosing this type of wood, Erik has contributed to the durability and longevity of his neighborhood swap cabinet.
