Rakku | Shoe Wheel

Posted by Michelle D., May 24, 2008 3:36 PM |

the-shoe-wheel.jpgCalling all Carrie Bradshaws and Imelda Marcos wannabes! The Shoe Wheel by RAKKU is a clever little design that is extremely functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Created by designer Danilo Torro, founder of the Hong Kong-based brand with his wife Lori Quon, "Rakku" means "rack" in Japanese. The shoe wheel can hold up to 30 pairs of shoes and can be adjusted to hold shoes of any size.

With the success of the Shoe Wheel came the Shoe Pod and the Rakkiddo. Both are slight variations of the Shoe Wheel. The Shoe Pod suits men with larger feet or sneaker fiends, thanks to the roomier slots. The Rakkiddo is especially designed for kids' shoes and can store up to 20 pairs at a time.

For purchasing information or to check out all three versions yourself, check out the Rakku Designs website!
