Freddy shows how the frames can be arranged vertically, horizontally or like steps, to then be completed with shelves, wire baskets, clothes rail, drawers and doors. "Even the exterior can be used. You can place hooks there or a clothes rail which is fixed between two frames."

Product details
You can easily create a storage solution that fits your needs and your space by combining frames in different heights and depths.
You can easily attach several PLATSA frames to each other using the included clips. They are easy to mount and remove without using tools, and you avoid visible screw holes on the outside.
LÄTTHET legs raise your PLATSA combination from the floor, giving a light airy look and making it easy to clean the floor underneath.
Perfect where space is limited since the frame is narrow.
LÄTTHET series offers more exterior choices to add on to your PLATSA frames.

Plasta Unit 80x40x60cm - SturdyAnonymous reviewerBought 2 units to stack and fasten on top of each other for inside a wardrobe (there was a taller Plasta unit but it wasn't as wide) - Perfect for our needs - No thick frame legs wasting space - Very Sturdy (they advise to fasten tall shelving units to wall, but ours is sturdy enough inside the wardrobe without doing that) - Good quality - Look neat and tidy - Easy to assemble - Bit expensive, especially the way we have fitted them with needing 2, but worth it for our needs, and will be buying some more for the other side of wardrobe - Comes with little feet if you want to use them (we didn't) or you can buy extended legs for the bottom :)
Perfect fit Anonymous reviewerSolid - perfect fit for the back of my cupboard. And better cos it’s not wood.
Great for organising toysAnonymous reviewerThis shelf is simple and clean design great for toy display. I love it.
Amazing little storage spaceAnonymous reviewerPerfect for storing and as a stand for showing off any collections.
Strong shelving without the workshop lookAnonymous reviewerNeeded shelving for tools in an odd sized room. One large and one smaller Platsa unit did the trick. So easy to assemble and very strong without that workshop look.

Story
The storage that changes with you
Our living space is often limited, and it can be a challenge to find a place for everything. With PLATSA storage system, we wanted to create a simple, changeable storage solution that you can rebuild and add to, build vertically or horizontally, to the side or in between. On top of everything else, the price should be low but the quality should be high. The solution: the right quality in the right place.
"All you need is your hands," says product developer Freddy Kramer while clicking together one PLATSA frame after another. Yes, clicking. The secret is a type of plug called a wedge dowel. Freddy goes on to explain why assembling or taking frames apart easily is an important detail. "People's lives are changing more and more today ─ we move more often, live in smaller spaces and maybe share a home with others at times. That's why our needs don't look the same throughout life."
Take apart and rebuild
Love in a white box
For PLATSA to be truly long-lasting, quality was just as important as flexibility and ease of assembling. But improving quality without adding to the price is not easy. "Right quality in the right place," Freddy says, and opens a cabinet door. "Here on the outside of the door, which you see and touch every day, we've used a matt foil with fine texture, while the inside, which is not as exposed, is coated with a simpler base foil." The PLATSA project took a lot of time and commitment. But it also gave results. "Those empty white boxes for the frames might not look like much at first glance, but they’re actually white boxes filled with love,” Freddy says, smiling.
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
