From the workshop to the living area: extremely sturdy, slightly tapered stacking crates made of sheet steel, manufactured in Japan by Toyo Steel. The highlight: the crates are each fitted with a foldable hinged handle on both long sides, which a) helps with carrying when folded out and b) ensures that the crates can be stacked with(!) their contents when folded in. Up to eight boxes can be stacked on top of each other. Reinforced base in the typical Toyo waffle structure, made of galvanized sheet steel, powder-coated in clear or matt black. For tidiness in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom, office or even in the garden.

We found the contact to the company TOYO STEEL via detours, when we found a tool box of excellent quality on a flea market years ago. The research path led us to Japan to TOYO STEEL. Since 1969, the workshop outfitter from Osaka has been producing containers made of sheet steel. As with many Japanese products, a high demand for perfection in execution, material and proportion characterizes the products from this house. It is interesting to see how Japanese manual product culture is also reflected in such industrially produced products. For example, the universal crate TOYO: finely rounded corners and edges, upper and lower part deep-drawn from one piece of sheet steel each, the connecting hinge worked out of the lid. Thus, the universal box is a weldless, lightweight and yet robust utensil box of impressive processing quality. Features that we find in all the products of TOYO STEEL.
