If you’re craving more space, and aren’t we all, there are a number of new and very stylish designs around with clever ideas for small spaces.
Italian manufacturer Ozzio® is the creative company making some exciting and unique transformable furniture. The ingenious design team at this Milan based company re-examine the shape and structure of traditional furniture to create multi-functional products to suit the way we live now.
Ideas for small spaces
Neat coffee tables turn into dining tables, or a work bench/desk with storage; a smart wall unit with a TV screen, cleverly conceals a dining table for six, including fold-away dining chairs. Awesome, smart design ideas for 21st century living.
Small spaces + modular furniture
Ozzio’s Smart Living is an all-in-one storage system with swivel TV screen. It not only neatly hides messy media cables etc. but has built-in storage for a pull-out, extending dining table (in a lower cupboard) plus space behind the TV screen for storing the dining chairs. Be impressed. It’s also modular so you can choose to have bookcases/no bookcases or configure it as you like. Lots of different colours and finishes too.
Transformable tables
The Newood (above & below) is a transformable coffee table which turns into a large dining table. And the good news is that the hidden gas-lifting mechanism won’t leave you feeling as if you’ve done a full work-out before dinner. When it’s fully extended it’s large enough to seat up to ten people. So start writing those dinner party invitations. Really, there’s no excuse.
Small spaces & working from home
The Markus coffee table (below) could give new meaning to ‘working from home’ (or even ‘working from your sofa’). Not only is it a really neat coffee table, it lifts and extends to create extra bench seating, with a desk-high table-top including plenty of space for laptops/iPads etc. There’s also a handy drawer for notebooks and pens.
And the beautiful Ozzio 4×4 table (below) has stolen our hearts.
The 4 x 4 starts as a compact dining table, measuring 100cm x 200cm, and ingeniously expands, via a unique geometric opening system, to 138cm x 254cm – providing a beautiful (and rare for a dining table) square shape. Large enough for an extended family meal – or a small conference!
Finally, here’s a treat for you – take a look at the fun Ozzio You Tube video showing a bit of geometric magic.
