richierich20 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 its for a international design competition and we have been asked to consider furniture and the way people might use it in the future say ten years time. one of the areas we should address is how should furniture design respond to increasing mobility in life and work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHarman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 decent flat pack is needed, solid stuff, not contiboard crap, more thought should be given to the size of furniture as alot of modern houses and flats have rooms that are alot smaller than older houses, stackable, lightweight stuff is needed. is this what you wanted?

LHarman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 furniture that evolves,tables that change shape, chests of drawers that you can stack,, and have any number of drawers not just the usual 3 or 5. extendable beds( were getting taller), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Oh, I get it now. Modular storage, where you buy different size storage "pods" and you can bolt them together in any configuration you want. A bit like Lego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
