Austrailia is pushing the milkcrate lifestyle forward. From designer Stefan Lie, comes the milkcrate lounge chair. 20 milkcrates and some twist ties, and you are on your way. I need to get to Austrailia soon.

This aussie is pretty serious about milkcrate theft, so he redsigned the milkcrate for the ABC/AU show, the New Inventors. How can you really improve something so perfect. From the abc web page: “Most people have found that milk crates are ideal for storage at home and this discovery has led to milk crates going missing. Milk crates have be known to be used for safe storage of vinyl records, used as seating stools, as a stand at concerts and parades to catch a better view and sometimes when partnered with other milk crates even used as a strong bed base.” Seems like even ABC is rooting against him. The video is some funny/not funny stuff. – John Freeborn 5-30-06
