The zBoard material used in Way Basics products is versatile, eco-friendly, and simple to use. This Holiday season, fashion brand bebe installed custom zBoardstorage cubes as part of their window display. This project was completed with Great Big Picture, a supplier of in-store graphics to many of the nation’s top retailers. All bebe stores internationally will have the cubes this Holiday. It’s amazing to see that companies like bebe care about our environmental impact since many of these display are temporary and end up in landfills. With zBoard, after the promotion, they can simply be recycled and one day find themselves back as new Way Basics products. Let’s get ready for the Holidays!

We’ve always thought of our zBoards as building blocks that can be utilized by immensely creative individuals, and check out what Rachel Schechtman has done with our zBoards!
A Startup Store is an innovative and highly creative six-week shopping exhibition featuring five very trendy start-up businesses. We think the idea of a store that “reinvents” itself every 4-6 weeks is both amazingly ambitious and artistically brilliant!
Several hundred of our white cubes served as the display units for all the merchandise sold during their Beta. We love the way our zBoards blend right in to the chic, yet simple interior design. Sadly, the Beta closed a few days ago on January 12th, but the store will be opening up in their new exhibition theme, LOVE, on February 2nd! If you’re in the New York area, definitely check them out; if not, take a look at their website to see what they’ll cook up next!

Here at Way Basics, we encourage individualization and customization through our modular zBoards, allowing our customers to not only select, but design their own furniture to satisfy both organizational needs, and creative ones. With that said, we’d like to introduce one of our awesome retailers! Module R is a fantastic gallery that takes the idea of the “Age of Personalization” and brings it into design and art, blurring the line between items that are mass-produced facsimiles and unique, personalized artifacts. Check out their website to learn more about Donald Rattner, their founder, and their fresh and much-needed role as a “central marketplace where customizable and transformable design (and art) from around the globe could be presented as a coherent body of work.” Be sure to stop by and check them out if you’re ever in the Brooklyn area!

Cool Hunting recently wrote an article about A Startup Store. They mentioned that the current exhibition uses Way Basics storage cubes to display their collections.
Who would have thought that the storage cubes would match the classy and elegant exhibit displays they have?
Rachel Shechtman, retail consultant and founder of Cube Ventures, described the exhibit, “A Startup Store has the point of view of a magazine, but it changes like a gallery and it sells things like a store.”
“It’s no Ethan Allen, but I think that might be a good thing. These products are made of 99% post consumer recycled paper that are just as strong as conventional furniture. I don’t plan on sitting on my cube, but it seems to be holding up just fine against my pounds of papers.”
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The quiet southeast Charlotte street that looked more like a movie set this week wasn’t for carpenter Carter Oosterhouse’s show on HGTV. It was for a series of online clips that will be posted on the web site for Clorox Green Works.
Oosterhouse was in Charlotte for three days creating a $20,000 makeover for the Harding family.
“We’re going to give the nursery and the family room, which is kind of like a rec room playroom, a complete greenover, which is a makeover with an eco friendly twist,” Oosterhouse explained.
