Rakku Shoe Wheel
Suzy just loves this high-tech gizmo that gives her more shoe storage! Stylish, affordable ($65) & the ultimate space saver!
The Shoe Wheel is the brainchild of designer Danilo Torro. A few years ago, upon moving into a new apartment in Hong Kong, Torro--a former manufacturing engineer for McDonnell Douglas--got tired of having no storage alternative but to pile up his family's shoes in the corner of their spare bedroom. Seeking a better way to organize their shoes, he came up with a brilliant idea to design a storage system that would simply make their life easier. This creative challenge fostered a four-year passion to develop the Shoe Wheel.
Paying homage to the Shoe Wheel's Asian Roots, Torro and his wife and partner, Lori Quon, named their company "Rakku," meaning "rack" in Japanese
