Brutalist Stack boxes are an evolution of the Square Stack boxes. Both designs take inspiration from Brutalist architecture which is derived from the French name Béton brut meaning raw concrete. Béton brut surfaces show the wood texture of the formwork used to cast the concrete. The reduced scale of these boxes made actual wood texture too big to read on a small surface so OSB board was used instead.

Brutalist Stack came in three modular sizes which could stack on a box of the same size or in conjunction with the other two sizes to create a variety of shapes. Different colors were offered so contents could be color coded.
