The stoa, an ancient Greek architectural form, was used to define urban spaces. The Stoa modular rail system provides a means to define your personal work space. Interesting that an 1800-year-old architectural structure has lent its name to this quintessentially 21st-century storage solution.
Stoa designer Jeff Sokalski has always enjoyed solving the problems of space and the objects that inhabit it. He designs on the basis of essential questions: What problem must be solved? What's the best solution for this? Stoa is a perfect example of his design process. With just a few components, it transforms any flat surface into an efficient, customizable, and eye-catching system of organization.
