Room Copenhagen is a Danish company that makes many of the official LEGO storage and display solutions like the large LEGO storage bricks, minifig storage heads, minifig display cases, and more. These products are usually made of ABS plastic, exactly matching standard LEGO colors. Interestingly, for their next product line, Room Copenhagen is releasing several LEGO storage and display solutions made of soap treated or dark stained solid red oak. Below are the details.
The new product line called LEGO Home features wooden desk drawers shaped like 2×2 and 2×4 bricks, a wooden picture frame, wooden bookrack, and wooden wall hangers. They all made to look like LEGO elements with studs with the LEGO logo. And as mentioned above, all the products are going to be available in a lighter soap treated version and a dark stained versions.
The 2×2 wooden desk drawer is 6.2 x 6.2 x 4.4 inches (158 x 158 x 113 mm), the 2×4 wooden desk drawer is 12.4 x 6.2 x 4.4 inches (316 x 158 x 113 mm), the wooden picture frame is 10.6 x 7.5 x 1.9 inches (268 x 191 x 47 mm), and the wooden bookrack is 18.8 x 3.1 x 4.5 inches (478 x 78 x 115 mm). The wooden wall hangers come in a three-pack with three differently sized round plates; 3.7 inches / 3.09 inches / 1.85 inches (94 mm / 78.5 mm / 47 mm).
I think they look quite stylish! Unfortunately, the exact release date and prices are not yet known, but hopefully they will be available soon and they aren’t too expensive. I’m also wondering if the sizes are going to be compatible/stackable with the ABS plastic versions. If you are looking for the standard version of LEGO storage and display solutions by Room Copenhagen, they are available both at Amazon and the Online LEGO Shop. Here are the links:

These are nice! I wonder if it would be possible to stack them and use them as a main Lego storage system.
It shows on the picture that the bricks can be stacked, but of course we don’t know the structural integrity and how high they could be stacked. I suppose they could be separated by shelves. I expect them to be too expensive though. Even the plastic ones are $12 for the 2×2 and $24 for the 2×4.
And remember that these are smaller than the big storage bricks. These are sized like the smaller desk drawers. They can hold a lot less than the normal storage bricks. They look elegant, but I would rather spend my money on Lego.
It all depends on the price, but I could use some of these. They look good.
I wish they made an affordable storage solution. I find the storage bricks too big and the one with the small drawers everyone is using too small. Somewhere in between is the sweet spot that I would like to see.
I might get a couple of bricks for novelty’s sake. I mean, if the price is, you know, not something crazy.
I guess a big appeal of these boxes are their design. If you’re just looking for cheap storage, you’re probably better off buying some kind of storage cabinet.
I was wondering if the plastic and wooden desk drawers could be combined. So I looked up the sizes. The plastic 2×2 desk drawer is 158 x 158 x 113 mm / 6.2 x 6.2 x 4.4 in and the 2×4 desk drawer is 316 x 158 x 113 mm / 12.4 x 6.2 x 4.4 in. I expect the wooden ones to be even more expensive than the plastic ones. But they are building a whole system, which I find attractive.
It’s the cost that’s going to be the real issue here if you want to make this into a whole storage system. Yes, they match. Yes, they a system, but at what cost? I think most of us rather buy Lego than giant storage bricks. I store my Lego at plastic shoe boxes from the dollar store. They work perfectly fine. And they are even stackable.
Those are some weird pictures! Haha!! Anyway, they look cool, but I don’t know what I would do with them. My room is full of lego, I don’t have room for fancy display things like these.
Sorry, if this was not clear. I was talking about the weird pictures in the frames on the last photo. I don’t know what they suppose to be. lol. 😀
Danish artwork… Looks like the artwork found in the background of paintings in Danish Donald Duck comics… =D
I guess it could be a combination of the company not wanting to pay extra fees for artists or photographers, as well as having art that’s completely inoffensive to prospective buyers and won’t steal the focus from the product advertised. (A lot of classical artwork in Public domain is so eye-catching that the advertised frames might almost disappear to the viewer.)
Good points. Here they usually do some nondescript nature photo. 🙂
Ah, yeah. Likely cheap stock photography…
An alternative would be faux family photos and similar, although I guess companies might prefer to avoid the question of ethnicity, as well, if possible…
I like these, but like others said, they are probably too expensive and I rather spend my money on real lego bricks. This hobby is expensive enough already.
I’ve been making these types of frames and shelves for Lego builds for some time now. I will continue to sell them and Lego can’t stop me. Find me at your local street fair. I guarantee mine are cheaper and offer more variety.
Yeah, I guess the concept would be considered universal enough, just as long as you avoid branding the studs with any actual Lego logo…
Oh, you make them? That’s really cool! Would love to check them out! 🙂
These wooden accessories look great, but the price is a bit out of space. I think I’ll try to make something like this with my own wood. My son should like it too.
