Merry Design from Madrid, Spain has this very cool bread crate/table project. It’s a expandable system with a simple design to bring some added utility and design sense to the already functional crate. View some of their other projects on their site.
Rock Martin, from the good ole’ Australian continent, sent me a link to these great milkcrate inspired pieces. I love the metal one (see below). Check out more pics and his other works at their site –> rockmartin.com.au
Tuukka Rask has only played 5 NHL games, but for the Providence Bruins of the AHL Rask made a name for himself with an all-star post-game tantrum. The finale of this display was throwing a milkcrate onto the ice from the tunnel. I love everything about this story. I wish I could do an interview with this guy. Watch the whole video here –> Tuukka Rask loses his temper after shootout loss (March 21st, 2009), full story here via Sports of Boston
Poodly on Flickr shot this odd scene from Australia. See more on his photostream.
I’d like to congratulate the Milkcrate Theater on reaching their 10th year of work. They are a great organization doing good while living the milkcrate lifestyle. –> Milk Crate Theater for Sydney’s homeless turns ten via Sydyney Central
Sometimes a simple idea only needs a little nudge to get to a better place. Simon Ancher & Bruce Nye designed this simple wooden modification for Aussie milkcrates to transform them into more proper seating. –> State of Design Festival, Simon Ancher on Designboom

This is an amazing shot and I sure hope this guy is wearing a harness of some kind. This guy apparently won this contest by climbing to a height of 22 crates which is almost 24 feet of the ground. The photo below is of the blogger who reached a very respectable 18 crates. I’m not sure of this event but I am intrigued. –> Check Check, via Mountain Film blog
This good guy takes his doggie everywhere he rides with this homemade travel crate. I love this idea, and almost did it myself recently on my bike with Punkass. Now that I’ve seen it work, I will definitely give it a try. I usually don’t post pictures with faux crates, but I will make an exception in this case. –> Jones County man rides in style with canine companion via on macon.com
