1. Future
furniture

2. WHAT IS FURNITURE
 movable equipment, such as tables and
chairs, used to make a house, office, or
other space suitable for living or working.
 Furniture can be a product of design and is
considered a form of decorative art. In
addition to furniture's functional role.
 It can be made from many materials,
including metal, plastic, and wood.
Furniture can be made using a variety
of woodworking joints which often
reflect the local culture.

3. MOBILE OFFICE PODS
Few spaces need as much
flexibility as offices, where
scaling is crucial and change is
frequent. Thus future-thinking
creations an all-in-one system
for turning empty rooms into
instant work areas.

4. Fold it open to reveal a desk and
cupboards for storage, but also acoustic
panels to help keep the noise down from
your office neighbors. Plug it in at a single
point to supply electricity for your devices
and for the built-in lights – no further
integration or interface needed to make it fit
anywhere.
And if security is an issue, with various
pods of workers in the same
warehouse,
for instance, they can be closed and
locked as easily as they are opened
and
deployed at the end and beginning of
each day.

5. NEWSPAPER WOOD
stacks of newspapers meticulously and
individually glued together, rolled into a tight
‘log’ and left to dry, deform and harden just like
living trees would do. After they ‘cure’ these
building blocks can be cut, carved, routed,
mortised and so forth as one would with
normal wood.NewspaperWood has grains
and rings much like a tree, as well as a unique
and variegated texture to that of wooden-
surfaced craft objects.Each slice or spin
reveals different cross-sections of print with its
own visual

6. Idea paint
IdeaPaint is one of the most flexible, cost-
efficient dry erase surfaces on the market. A
single coat transforms any smooth surface
into a canvas for innovation and
collaboration. Apply to walls, doors, columns
and beyond.CREATE has endless color
choices - White, Black and Every Color in
Between. It is the most durable commercial-
grade formula, and a proven winner with
successful installations.

7. Hyper-Flexible Wood
products they invent and develop
themselves, like these impressive
wooden table. The table use a
revolutionary laser cutting technique
for making wood flexible. The
technique allows the single piece of
wood to be bent nearly in half (without
hinges and with no cracking or
breaking) to form a front and back
cover.
made from a single piece of birch
plywood and finished with a clear
varnish.

8. Floating table
these clever round and rectangular tables
look dizzyingly legless at first glance. Of
course, close inspection quickly reveals
the mechanism behind the initial mystery
– the loads are translated down through
single-side arms attached to the chairs
around each table.
the components of these pieces look
intentionally normal, making it all the more
surprising when you notice there are no
normal legs as such.

9. Box Office
a series of semi-enclosed work areas was
a must spatial separators needed to do
more than just divide up space. Hence this
modular system of storage to create a
dynamic series of partial rooms while also
providing much-needed storage
areas.Given the visual nature of those
working in the spaces, display surfaces
were needed as well. By using light wood
and white paint throughout, the result is a
complex yet relatively blank canvass

10. Liquid Wood Chairs
wood has long remained a leading to choice for
creating furniture. make its old uses less
appealing with time. Thus, a new form of
industrial production: liquid wood built from
organic materials like bamboo, flex, hemp, jute
etc. murky mixture is compressed, heated and
ultimately fused together in a durable, strong
and toxin-free Under heat and pressure, the
resulting viscous substance can be used for
injection-molding furniture pieces with all the
flexibility-but-rigidity of traditional plastics. Best
of all, the products are recyclable

11. Light transmitting concrete
light-transmitting concrete. Filled with
optical fibers that run from one end of a
poured piece of concrete to the other,
these prefabricated blocks and panels
effectively transmit light from one side to
the other. Colors and light remain
remarkably consistent from end to end,
but with a natural variation from the
pouring process that actually softens the
effects considerably.
The fibers can transmit light to over 50
feet

12. they occupy only a small percentage
of the total concrete block or panel,
they do not significantly effect the
structural capabilities of the poured
Daylighting possibilities abound and
all with potentially much lower heat
loss and cost and with greater highly
versatile material

13. Convertible Couch
Most fold-out sofas work on essentially
the same schematic, or one of a few
traditional modes of operation. L-
shaped sofas like this are a great way
to work with small spaces often the
same kinds of places that do not have
enough room for a spare bedroom.
when you rotate one part of the L to be
a parallel companion to its mate, but
you also create a natural bedside table
for guests, making it all the more
practical.

14. Work + Play Sofa
Living room seating is all about the
comfort, and for The super-soft reclining
sofa provides plenty of space for reading
and for working, with flat armrests that are
perfect for supporting the novel you can’t
put down. Plush armrest cushions lift off to
become lap rests for notebook computers.
And behind each armrest is an indentation
just for keeping books and periodicals
close at hand. Connect’s simple but
functional aesthetic

15. Mobile Headboards Split Beds
This may be the first truly novel idea for an
adaptable bed-and-couch combination seen
in quite some time. The result isn’t exactly a
typical sofa, but the movable leather
elements do let you use the space in
different-but-similar ways, for lounging
together, reading apart, or anything in
between. A focus shift is the key: instead of
forcing the main mattress area to fold, twist
or otherwise contort itself into a new
configuration, the flexible modular
headboard makes all the changes you
need.

16. Storage-Filled Sofa
There is more than one way for furniture
to double its functionality convertible sofa
beds are a good start, but more
experiments with storage might be a less-
glamorous pursuit with even more
possibilities. massive and dense couch-
sized seats seem ideal candidates for
making maximum use of available space.
The black-and-white, striped-box style of
the Sofa might not be for everyone, but
both the seating surface and back support
elements feature a series of hidden
storage areas.

17. Space-Saving Shoe Rack
a brushed steel shoe rack inspired an
ingenious alternative: a space-saving,
wall-mounted, shoe-storage solution
using just a pair of basic wooden boards
and a few brackets to hold them in place.
Lessons to be learned: even the most
easy of takes some brainstorming,
planning and time to purchase, finish and
install materials – It takes up more space,
can be knocked over and, well, it just isn’t
as neat as hanging pairs of shoes from
the wall.

18. Extending Dining Room Table Tops
These all-wood modernist rectangular and
round extending tables, however,
transform and expand with technological
ease but have the natural visual variety
associated with powerfully grained
hardwoods. They extend extra dining
space with hi-tech grace but traditional
beauty, expanding to accommodate
additional visitors. With stainless steel
support elements these dining room
extension tables make bold statements as
the solid centerpieces of a dining room
interior design.

19. Convertible Stealth Furniture
day these space-saving hideaway beds
are subtle, tucking back into walls and
leaving simple shelves and sofas behind
to make their presence all the more
invisible. By night they are full-fledged
bedroom furniture – often still including
storage space and other functions. One
of the best bedroom ideas from the
bunch by far is this clever convertible
desk-and-bed combination. No one
would ever guess that the desk, tucked
against the wall

20. Transforming Table, Desk, Chair
Most transforming, collapsing or
convertible furniture has a few potential
flaws and limitations. Often such
furniture pieces have a number of
moving parts, weak connections at at
most two configurations. This simple but
visually dynamic table ,desk
design has a remarkable three modes of
operation and requires only simple
rotations – no complex converting parts
or tiresome transformations.

21. Squared Spiral
stairs to accommodate an awkwardly low-
height door while connecting the main
level to a walkway and rooms above.
Quite fitting, really, for a modest rustic
forest residence.
This rather more robust and rugged-
looking contemporary design has an
element of heavy craft to it, floating though
it may be, along with rectilinear shapes
and stark contrasts of light-stained rails
and trim alongside dark-stained (black
velour laminate finish) sides and black
(rubber) treads and risers.

22. Rigid-Looking Chairs
The chairs are ‘upholstered’ with rigid
materials on top of foam to produce an
illusion of DISCOMFORT
A unusual furniture upholstery techniques.
wooden chair frames, lines the seats and
backs with foam, and painstakingly covers
these surfaces with small pieces of hard
materials that give way when pressure is
applied. With this technique, she’s able to
make cracked cement, tiles and faceted
pieces of wood into exceptionally
comfortable seating surfaces.

23. stacking lawn furniture tower
The Chairs is four powdered coated
aluminum frame chairs with white cushions
and a table which can stack into one piece
made out of woven polyethylene. With both
larger and smaller versions available, two to
four seats along with a coffee table all emerge
from a single sphere or obelisk shape. The
table alone sets this apart from most
transforming/collapsing chair sets, but with
the passable style and transforming functional
of this set one could also imagine cramped
interior spaces benefiting from one of these
designs.

24. Shelf StairCASE
The shelf “StairCASE” It’s a simple,
clever and practical way to save your
house space and expand your
storage space.he focus for the future
furniture design is on height and not
in width. But current storage furniture
is designed for average humans with
a length of approx. 1.8 meters so
everything is reachable. So to be
efficient also our furniture needs to
grow in height in stead of width.

25. Boxetti Private contains the set of basic
bedroom functions –a double bed, night
stand and a wardrobe. The unit is
furnished with high quality stainless steel
handles and accessories. The foldaway
bed platform is automatically lifted by a
remote control, together with a built-in
night stand. The unit is equipped with a
spotlight and an ambience lighting fixture
above the headboard. The integrated
wardrobe consists of six sections
including shelves, drawers and a clothes
rail.
The foldaway bed

26. window to balcony
an innovative window frame that can be
to a balcony transformed. It offers the
user a flexible environment. By opening
the window frame, it becomes possible to
walk out through the wall and enjoy
outdoor space. With the push of a button
is added light, air and space. balcony
transforms the facade to a balcony, indoor
outdoor space. A closed abstract facade
in winter unfolds like a flower in the
summer.

27. Snug
Snug is a piece of soft furnishing designed
with the intention of creating a comfortable
and flexible item for relaxing in. It consists
of a soft inner cushion surrounded by a
sleeve, creating a cozy shell which
envelops the user. on the top of the sleeve
allows Snug to be adjusted to support your
body in a variety of different positions.

28. Extending Bench/Table
Wooden roll-top desks are clever classics
that depend on segmented wood slats to
close and open without sacrificing classy
curves. Though it owes a lot to this now-
traditional desk design idea, this
extendable bench-or-table piece (suited to
suit on and with space to set things in
between you and another person) is
definitely contemporary in every other way.
A secret seam in the center of the
horizontal metal supports conceals a
hidden set of wood beams, revealed fully
only when the furniture is expanded.

29. Flip-Open Sofa Shelves
Some people enjoy the full separation of
work and play that a comfy couch
affords, while others would prefer to be
able to work while lounging on their own
home or office sofa. For the latter, this
remarkably simple design provides a
series of flip-up wood-grain platforms
that provide as-needed desk and
shelving space right where you sit.

30. Convertible Push-Button Couch + Bed
this convertible couch-and-bed
combo has an extra hidden
advantage: there is no need to
relocate back-support pillows when
you transform it into its flat
configuration, since these fold out as
part of the smooth transition process.
it becomes a trade-off: the risk of
something not working when you
need it, versus what may be the most
streamlined transforming sit-and-
sleep object to date

31. Wall-Hanging Modular Furniture
Elegant, minimalist and multi-functional,
once you have the system supports in
place, almost anything is possible, from
entertainment systems to bedroom
storage and office centers – all without
touching the floor. Wood-finished panels
– light or dark -can provide a space-
defining backdrop for a given
configuration, while leaving the walls
blank highlights the light and thin
elements holding everything together.

32. Transforming Desk
this combination desk and bed is perfect. The
interior of the desk even includes a small TV
so you can fall asleep to your favorite movie
or just recline while you watch a little reality
TV and zone out for a bit. The desk bed could
be great not only for offices, but for people
who combine living and working in tiny
apartments. Slide the desktop back a bit, fold
the back down inside the leg space to create
the mattress and lower one side a bit, and the
desk is transformed into a small bed perfect
for a mid-day catnap – complete with an
inclined pillow.

33. Skylight Deck
the multi-functional possibilities of typical
windows, able to fold out like doors or flip
down for ventilation while maintaining
security. angled rooftop – creating more
space and the feel of an exterior deck.
The top flips up to form an overhang,
while the bottom folds out to let you walk
right up to the edge and essentially stand
outside.
