Future furniture

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Liquid Wood Chairswood 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

Light transmitting concretelight-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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ,deskdesign has a remarkable three modes of operation and requires only simple rotations – no complex converting parts or tiresome transformations.

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.

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.

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.

Shelf StairCASEThe 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.  

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Transforming Deskthis 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.
