Banc fonctionnel par Emma Nilsson et Johanna Westin | Blog Esprit-Design : tendance Design / Deco

Plus proche du banc que du canapé cette réalisation offre différentes possibilités aux utilisateurs, en terme de position, de stockage. Le petit plus, la disposition des magazines derrière le dossier.
Contemporary domestic spaces tend to be sleek and cool but often miss cozy intimate corners. Oyster is a versatile piece of furniture. When folded it is a cushion, when unfolded it creates a cozy and comfortable private shelter.

[ Update: James Ludwig, Steelcase's chief designer, has sent us some intriguing information on pricing and demand, added to the bottom of this post ] IDEO and Steelcase have just announced what might be a revolution in classroom design, a school desk that seamlessly adapts to whatever happens in class. If you've spent any time in a schoolroom in the last 15 years, you're familiar with the high pitched whine of metal scraping against linoleum, as students rearrange their chairs and desks to whatever activity is going on. It seems like a minor annoyance, but it's a serious design problem: School furniture was largely designed 50 years ago for static, face-forward teaching.

Red Nest: Bookcase, Bed & Desk by Paul Coudamy Dezeen | Apartment Therapy New York

The upper level of this small Parisian apartment was transformed by architect Paul Coudamy. Known for his custom solutions for small spaces, the architect made the most of the 23 square meters with a sliding bookshelf, bed and desk unit. The bookshelf slides to expose the bed to the room and hide the desk — or to expose the desk and wrap the bed in a little nook. The efficient use of space and plentiful storage cabinets and drawers negates the need for much more furniture, allowing the small room to appear quite large and open. Red must be a favorite of Paul Coudamy — the high-gloss red cabinetry here is almost the same color as the red clay-like wall in his My Caravan Studio project.
