Multifunctional object, Biennale INTERIEUR 2012 and “space savers furniture”…




Major fair Biennale INTERIEUR 2012 will take place in the city of Kortrijk, Belgium in October. Lowie Vermeersch, president of the Biennale Interieur declared that "there's need and place for an open platform which enriches and strengthens our own selection with a more avant-garde and cutting edge spirit our critical and international audience is looking for. That's why different young designers, avant-garde companies, organisations, schools and institutions are more then welcome to show their talent in this new venue." 

So designers can show their talent by taking part to the competition on living environment within two categories: category object and category space. 

Working on a project for the category object of the competition, we dug on the subject of multifunctional object. We are particularly committed to this aspect of the products we design: they must be convenient to use and store, but also -when it is possible- to offer multiple possibilities of use. 

This is how we discovered the line of Italian-designed “space-savers” offered by the American company Resource Furniture. Watch the video to discover how these “space savers” give new possibilities for small spaces. And, as says Ron Barth - President of Resource Furniture in the video: "it is not just a cabinet ..."




We especially appreciate the technological prowess behind the systems they developed. A truly inspiring interdisciplinary teamwork!
