BROR
Heavy-duty, our way – a sturdy storage system that withstands moisture, dirt and heavy loads. Also easy to assemble, complete as needed and fits everywhere thanks to its clean design.
Story
The strongest storage we’ve made so far
Does your garage sometimes feel like a lost civilization? Pyramids of paint cans grouped around the car, sports equipment you can’t remember even using and forgotten hobbies in boxes stacked high. IKEA product developer Lina Ringefelt wanted to help out. The outcome: the heavy-duty BROR storage system.
Lina and her team researched peoples’ garage needs and found that there’s an interest in everything from full-on hobby rooms, to a place to pot plants and work on cars, as well as storage for everything from heavy power tools to seasonal equipment. Many people also want lockable, closed and open storage that could hold very heavy loads.
Creating very strong storage
“I was inspired by classic industrial furniture typically used in workshops during the 50’s, as well as Meccano, to create the design,“ Lina says. “The idea was to create these beautiful storage units that have double the weight carrying capacity of any other shelves we were making at the time.” Engineer Philip Nedergaard made sure that the design held true to the heavy-duty ambition. “We built some of what we call ‘worst-case scenarios’ by loading the shelves high with concrete bags to really test that the shelves could safely hold almost anything you would want to keep in a garage,“ he says.
Combining good looks and practicality
The result is an adjustable series of shelving units with closed and open storage, including a trolley that serves as a movable shelf and workstation. But perhaps the series biggest calling card is its combination of looks and function. BROR could definitely be used in the home too.

Do you like BROR?
Say goodbye to the piles of boxes and hundreds of tools scattered around your garage and organise them with BROR shelving units suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is probably the strongest, sturdiest and most practical storage system we’ve created so far. The shelves can hold anything, even bags of concrete (yes, that’s what we tested it with).Ideas and inspiration
A room for improvement(s)
Apartments, summer houses, balconies, and terraces... but never a garage! This time, our interior designer is faced with the challenge of converting an old garage built in 1931 into a modern space for all kinds of activities of technical nature. The owner of the garage is a passionate high-wheel bicycle builder and needs space for many different tools and gadgets for this hobby. He wishes to keep all his equipment but to have it better organised.
Taking the makeovers outside
This time, there will be no makeover in four walls. And why is that? Because there will be a makeover of a room with just one wall! We are taking our makeover outside and renovating a summerhouse terrace for a young family. Look and see for yourself how an improvised living area outside turns into a functional haven for the warmer months of the year.
