Red Sticks Crate: Sculptural Vinyl Storage That Makes a Statement

What if your record storage was as expressive as the music inside?

That question drove us to create the Red Sticks Crate, a piece that refuses to hide. Designed and handcrafted by our small team in Cherkasy, Ukraine, this modern vinyl record crate merges form, function, and a bit of architectural poetry.

Functional Object, Sculptural Presence

"Design is not just what we see in galleries or museums—it’s how we live, how we move through space, how we experience the world. Art is not separate from life—it is woven into it."

At Atelier Article, we hold a simple yet ambitious belief: that functional objects deserve to inhabit the same conceptual space as sculpture and art. The Red Sticks Crate is not just a utilitarian container—it is a functional piece of furniture conceived as an art object.

Its visual language draws from modernist architecture and structural minimalism. The intersecting red rods recall scaffolding, tension lines, even spatial drawing in three dimensions. This is not decoration—it is structure made visible, transformed into rhythm and gesture.

Rather than hiding your vinyl collection in the background, this crate elevates it. It becomes a focal point, a sculptural installation that animates a corner of your living room or studio.

Our goal is simple: to help make each personal dwelling more meaningful and unique. Through careful form, strong materials, and expressive design, we bring art into everyday life—not as a luxury, but as a way of being.

Design Notes

The idea for Red Sticks came unexpectedly—on a walk past a construction site. Steel rods crisscrossed in a way that felt accidental, almost musical. We brought that rhythm into the studio and began building from there. The result? A crate with presence, tension, and unmistakable identity.

Designed for Vinyl, Built for Living

Sized at 62 × 38 × 30 cm (24.4 × 15 × 11.8 inches), the crate fits neatly into compact spaces while holding up to 80 LPs. Two small wheels tucked at the rear allow easy repositioning—perfect for dynamic living spaces.

Built from powder-coated steel, it’s sturdy, durable, and made to last. The bold red finish brings energy into a room without overwhelming it.

Minimalism with an Edge

We didn’t want to design “just another record crate.” We wanted to create something expressive. Something that transforms everyday storage into a moment of design.

Is it storage—or sculpture? Why not both?

The Red Sticks Crate does just that—it’s minimal, but it doesn’t vanish. It speaks.
