Innovative space-saving furniture
According to statistics, we are increasingly living in smaller homes, either because our pockets do not allow for more, for convenience or because we simply do not need more living space, this new trend requires new solutions from the perspective of furniture. Designers and industrial engineers come into force here with new innovative ideas where the furniture no longer only adapts, but also continues to keep its functionalities intact.
We want to review some ideas, concepts and designs that give a new and fresh perspective to traditional furniture.
1.- Roll Out table
While it is nice to be able to host a few guests for dinner, when we live in a small apartment, it is not always that easy or feasible. And that's where Oslo-based designer Marcus Voraa comes in. He has designed the Roll Out table, an idea that is quite surprising, really! …
The concept is to use the telescopic technique at one end of the table, making it go from 1.5 meters to 4. It is a "blind" style mechanism with its corresponding steel crank that provides us with a greater length at the same time as the legs housed at the other ends of the gear change position.
Of course, as an idea for our small office, it is ideal, and remember to review the article guide for tips to buy office furniture, you will not regret it!
2.- The multi-shelf
The ShiftT project is simply an extremely smart and flexible shelving system. The idea is that we have a panel that in addition to being acoustic, happens in a matter of seconds to have different shelves in an easy way.
Obviously for small spaces it is very useful. A panel composed of recycled textile waste and compacted by a special technique from the textile and fashion industry. It is not necessary to incorporate any element to be able to mount the shelves since they are extracted from the same vertical facing by means of a system of folds.
3.- The chairs with a lot of art
The free space occupied by additional seats in a restaurant, in our kitchen (See ideas for kitchen design) or in the dining room of a small home, is every homeowner's nightmare. To solve this headache, the Spanish architecture studio Flores Taller de Arquitectura created an ingenious solution: a cabinet to store chairs that also acts as a decoration piece.
A pair of chairs was designed that can be stacked forming a single geometric unit and that aesthetically responds more to a piece of art than to a conventional chair.
Chairs combined with a wardrobe that responds to your design clearly provides an elegant aesthetic without disturbing the decoration of the house. A great idea!
4.- To hide furniture
From the Orla Reynolds design studio, they propose to us to hide different furniture in a fun way that also provides a pleasant aesthetic.
Remember the article on how to decorate a dining room with good ideas because we can make good combinations of furniture.
5.- The folding chair
A chair may express art as well as functionality and is literally non-intrusive. This is the idea of this surprising piece of folding chair that falls in love with its simplicity, practicality and that literally deceives the naked eye. We can already have a lot of furniture in small spaces and that they fit well, the only thing we need is to remove them from the wall to be able to use them.
Theindustrial project De-dimension designed by Jongha Choi is part of a deep study of the relationship between the 2D image and its representation in 3D through industrial design whose technical solution is impeccable to convertfolding chairs, tables or stools that we see in a flat version, in 2D hanging on the wall, in versatile pieces when assembled in three dimensions.
6.- Renewing the traditional bank
In this case we present you a piece of furniture adapted to modern life. The hand of the designer Raskl presents us with a functional bench for the interior of homes that expands to adapt to any length according to our needs.
Its classic style and mix of materials are perfect for any interior and it is available in a selection of timeless colors.
7.- When we only need a piece of furniture
Especially suitable for "micro" apartments. From the hand of the designer Moormann, the idea is to have a single functional and useful cube-shaped piece of furniture that replaces the small set of pieces that every home needs.
The cube represents all the important areas and needs of the home; Sleeping, eating, working and reading are organized on the outer sides, while the interior houses essential items, as well as a walk-in closet.
The upper part is curious where we find a bed with storage options on its edge, as well as different connections for electronic devices.
8.- The perfect barbecue
If you live in a city and have a large terrace, it does not matter much what the barbecue occupies, but if we have a small terrace, we have a problem here. Salvation is called Sigmafocus from Focus Chimneys.
We thought it was such a great idea that it needed to appear in this article. Composed of a folding steel cauldron, once closed, the Sigmafocus occupies a fairly small volume compared to traditional barbecues without underestimating the design.
It is aesthetic in its two positions (closed or open), practical with several positions for grilling, and easy to install on any wall (2 fixing points). The ash collector has the capacity for several successive uses before being emptied, as well as a fixed wall disk to protect the wall against smoke.
