UK Valet Self-Storage Startup WeStore Works With Students on Cardboard Sculpture Exhibition

WeStore Boxes Ltd., a U.K.-based startup business specializing in valet self-storage services, has collaborated with design students from Brunel University in Uxbridge, England, to create an exhibition of sculptures made from cardboard moving boxes. WeStore is hopeful the project will attract potential investors, company officials said in a press release.

Student sculptures include a birdcage, coffee table, chandelier, jukebox, rocking horse, turntable, turtle, typewriter and other household items.

“It’s no secret storage isn’t exciting,” said Henry Villiers, WeStore CEO. “The truth is that people care much more how they’re going to use the space than how they’re going to clear it. That's why we’ve challenged students to think outside of the box by imagining what they could do with the space.”

WeStore launched last November behind investment money from players connected to London’s tech startup community and SEKO Logistics, a global provider of supply-chain solutions that specializes in transportation, logistics, forwarding and warehousing. Similar to other valet-storage businesses, WeStore targets consumers and small businesses using a per-box fee strategy and pickup and delivery services.
