Since it launched a little more than three years ago, Kickstarter has established itself as a boon to budding designers, bringing nearly 3,000 often ingenious design concepts to some stage of development or completion. On August 22, Chicago’s MNML design studio, a crowdfunding success in its $1 million-plus campaign for the TikTok+LunaTik Watch Kits, will host a Kickstarter All-Stars night, showcasing a curated collection of some of the platform's biggest success.

Michael Schoner's Z Step display system wasn't designed for long term storage. The modular system can be twisted, rearranged, contorted, even flipped upside down to provide just the right surface for that instant and temporary type of storage that keeps shirts off the arm of your closest chair. For items on hangers, or fragile eyewear, the system includes a magnetic mounting system to keep everything in place. The system could definitely work in a home, but the adjustable panels, minimal design, and prominent display surfaces make it perfect for retail.
