Form & Refine A-Line Series

The A Line Collection of storage furniture, designed by Herman Studio, offers a fresh take on classic Scandinavian design with a focus on functionality, simplicity, and solid oak craftsmanship. Featuring benches, shoe racks, mirrors, and more, the collection embodies a timeless aesthetic while addressing the practical needs of modern living spaces.

At the heart of the collection is the A Line Storage Bench, an elegant yet functional piece inspired by the traditional Scandinavian storage bench. Crafted from solid oak, the bench showcases thoughtful details like a small leather handle, which allows users to lift the top and tuck it into a precisely placed interior groove. This reveals two separate compartments, offering a discreet and organized solution for storing items such as blankets, shoes, or household essentials. The versatility of the A Line Storage Bench makes it suitable for various spaces—from the foot of a bed to an entryway or even a bathroom. Its simple design and durable materials ensure that it will remain a beloved staple in any room, providing both beauty and practicality.

For those seeking to maximize entryway organization, the A Line Shoe Rack is an ideal choice. Designed with open shelving and a compact surface, it efficiently stores shoes while offering an additional layer of functionality with a top shelf. “The aim with this shoe rack was to design a piece that could store enough shoes without taking up too much space,” says Herman Studio. The thoughtful use of height ensures that the shoe rack can hold multiple pairs while maintaining a streamlined appearance. One of the standout features of this piece is its renter-friendly design—no wall mounting is required. The shoe rack can simply lean against a wall, offering flexibility in placement. However, for those who prefer a more permanent fixture, hardware is included for optional mounting.

Another striking piece in the collection is the A Line Mirror, which shares the same no-mounting-required functionality as the shoe rack. The mirror’s design is both simple and elegant, with a wide piece of oak at the bottom that provides weight and stability. “The frame of a mirror is often slim, but we gave this mirror a wide piece of wood at the bottom to add weight and substance to it,” Herman Studio explains. The elongated proportions create a tall, slim appearance, making it perfect for adding depth and light to a bedroom, bathroom, or entryway. The wide oak base also adds a subtle but stylish element, distinguishing this mirror from more conventional designs.

The A Line Laundry Box rounds out the collection by transforming a typically mundane household necessity into a stylish and practical piece of furniture. Crafted with the same attention to detail as the rest of the collection, the laundry box features a beautifully designed lid and an elongated form that allows it to fit seamlessly into tight spaces like closets, bedrooms, or bathrooms. Herman Studio notes that the goal was to create “a classic, yet simple laundry box with beautiful details around the lid,” and they succeeded in producing a piece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Overall, the A Line Collection of storage furniture offers a refined approach to everyday essentials. Each piece combines solid oak craftsmanship with a thoughtful balance of form and function, making the collection an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their home with practical, beautifully designed furniture.
