Creative furniture design adding interest to your home

Inspired by an old boyhood game of building with blocks, the Swedish-based talented couple Erik Olovsson and Kyuhyung Cho cooperated to create the interesting furniture design titled ROOM. ROOM is comprised of 25 stackable blocks that are made of plywood finished with matt lacquer, and formed by varied shapes and sizes. Each block can be used to place many things from books, bottles of wine, sunglasses, to shoes, scarves, suitcases or mugs. Both composition and choices are unlimited. 

Erik and Kyuhyung were interested in diversifying the relationship between object and space to create furniture as rooms for objects. The focus was to explore the mix-and-match quality of the ensemble in our spaces from a graphical approach. ROOM enhances the characteristic of the individual objects and emphasises the interactions between space and object.

Versatile furniture design for kids by Torafu Architects

Taking inspiration from dice, Torafu Architects created an original furniture design having many functions that can be easily changed by rolling the furniture over like a dice. The versatile furniture that we feature here can be used in three different ways depending on which side of it is rested.

First, you can use the furniture as a desk for your kid by setting it as the above image. Then, the dice becomes a compact desk with a built-in chair that offers your baby a cozy space for sitting and studying.

Second, this multifunctional furniture can be used as a comfortable “stool” on which an adult can sit when you turn it over to the side with the wide fan-shaped surface facing upwards.

Third, by turning the dice over once more, it will be immediately transformed into a “side shelf” with a top shelf to place objects and a bottom shelf to hold books and magazines.
