ar from the poor quality Ikea wardrobes that plague every loft and condo in Toronto, award-winning industrial designer Kevin Karst (no relation to the carbonate rock formations) has crafted a small assortment of furnishings that aims to spruce up your dwelling like no Swedish manufacturer before him. The Karst closet system is crafted from rift cut white oak and utilizes German hardware (known for their strength, of course) so the drawers actually roll out smoothly and doors swing open to the maximum degree for a full view of the day’s outfit choices.

The pull down handle is a unique feature that allows the vertically impaired to reach their shirts or dresses without pulling up a stool (embarrassing, really) and thus the closet space is optimized. Fully customizable, each storage unit is outfitted with the usual accoutrements upon request (extendable valet arms, shoe racks, etc.) and the Neat boutique is full of the usual storage/organization gadgets that follow the Umbra design logic.
