Furnitecture Furniture That Transforms Space

A compact sourcebook of ideas for innovative furnishing, interior environments and small-scale architectural interventions. As the definition of `designer` expands and architects today create everything from jewelry to urban masterplans, a new wave of objects is transforming our interior spaces. They include bookshelves that can dynamically divide and reshape a room, chairs that create intimate room-like enclosures, home-office spaces-within-spaces, and self-contained kitchen cubes that can be expanded to reveal every conceivable cooking and eating function. Furnitecture presents some 200 examples of this new design typology. From Danish studio KiBiSi`s design for a reconfigurable bookshelf system and Japanese architect Shigeru Ban`s moving boxes within rooms, to Dutch designers Makkink & Bey`s conversational Ear Chairs and the French atelier 37.2`s series of self-standing cubes, there is an interior world of innovation in these pages. And a personal space just for you.
