Smart Furniture look or Multi-Function Furniture?

Although furniture and products that we use every-day are always smaller than buildings and are placed inside of the building, furniture/ product design and architecture still have some common characteristics.

From the functional perspective of view, both of these design aim to create the device that could provide practicability and convenience to human’s daily lives.

From the design and esthetic aspect, the challenge to maintain the stable structure and function with small material waste exist in both design areas. Thus, the furniture and product design can be treated as a type of “mini architecture”

Besides the sustainable design for big scale space and architecture, the flexible multi-function multi-function concept is widely used for small product.

In general, this type of products would have some accessories and hidden mechanism to keep the adaptability.

Design is not only about using less harmful materials, but also about how our products can change people’s behavior and guide them concern more about our environment.

Home furnishing appliance should be designed in a way to lead people to use them in an effective way in order to utilize the surrounding area.

This was a short message to every one think that his space is too small to live in.

I would love to high light that the huge housing demands led to build vertical cities all over the globe not only in Egypt, due to the huge costs of the infrastructure that our government pays for.

Finally, think smart and use your space with the multi-function furniture, which will make you feel happier and comfortable. Moreover, ask a designer to help you and make your space a livable space.
