Domestic Shoe Rack

Lagos -  For the latest in space-saving furniture, your home can have an economical shoe rack like this with enough room for all the family’s footwear. Simply remove window air-conditioning unit (if not broken already) and there you have it - a ready-made space for slippers, sandals, even the odd lightbulb or pair of scissors.In better developed countries, people would perhaps go to the store and buy something ready-made for this purpose. This is an example of the enforced inventiveness that people in developing countries like Nigeria display when finding solutions to the-everpresent problem of LACK; lack of money, materials, or affordable household goods.Lack is balanced here by enforced or accidental inventiveness, and these solutions are often ecologically sustainable. This is recognized even in the West in this era of climate change and global economic hardship. Day-to-day life in developing countries reveals much in minor details like this “shoe rack”.
