Abstract
Storage furniture comprising a rigid, largely external structural framework and a compatibly shaped storage system, suspended within, comprising a plurality of panels that are flexible, tensilely strong, substantially inelastic and adjustably, tensilely stressed in at least two largely perpendicular directions to achieve "near-rigid" storage surfaces. Storage system further being flexibly reinforced, intrapanelly and extrapanelly, to maximize panel rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
