Storage & Organizing

While your winter clothes are enjoying Camp MakeSpace, you deserve to get some fresh air too. That’s why we’re giving away a pair of tickets to WeWork Summer Camp.

Last week, our friends over at Dos Toros sent us a pallet of burritos to find out once and for all just how many would fit in a MakeSpace bin. After a number of experiments involving gratuitous amounts of carnitas, pollo, and carne asada, we arrived at the answer.

This week we’re partnering with our friends over at The Sill to bring a little green to your New York City apartment. We’ll be giving away a few tiny succulents and one Philodendron.

MakeSpace Founder and CEO Sam Rosen has a blog post on Re/Code today addressing the myth that technology will displace the American workforce. He argues that more and more startups are shifting from producing apps to reimagining real world problems and the industries that solve them, and that as a result, we’ve seen considerable growth in blue-collar jobs in the United States.

Who doesn’t love a Summer Friday? To celebrate these ephemeral days of summer, we’re rolling out Friday MakeSpace appointments!

Artist Bernardo Schorr envisions a bleak future of urban density so intense that most city-dwellers will be forced to live in 100 square-foot, windowless apartments.

For all you college students out there, we decided to find out just how many packets of Top Ramen fit in a MakeSpace bin.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with our friends at Goodwill to make do-gooding even easier.

What a pleasant surprise to open AM New York this morning only to find ourselves featured in the business section!

You know already know we love the Fourth of July. But we can’t stop honoring this holiday fueled by booze and barbecue; last week, we decided to see how many jars of creamy, delicious mayo would fit in a MakeSpace bin.

In honor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, we decided to find out exactly how many soccer balls can fit in a MakeSpace bin. We went to the Adidas store in SoHo to pick up a few of the official World Cup balls and then did some rigorous mathematical calculations before determining that exactly 6.53 soccer balls can fit in a MakeSpace bin.
