DESIGN PROJECT

FURNITURE DESIGN FOR SMALL SPACES

 modular furniture that effortlessly adapts to a variety of activities, eliminating the need for multiple pieces in cramped quarters. This single, innovative creation transitions seamlessly between lounging, working at a well-proportioned table, or acting as a versatile side table. It's the ultimate answer to small-space challenges, utilizing every inch efficiently while striking the perfect balance between form and function. Our modular furniture is designed for the practical and sophisticated, providing comfort, productivity, and an elevated room aesthetic in one beautifully crafted piece."

lounge 
chair 

The lounging chair is designed to provide individuals with a comfortable and relaxing sitting experience. Featuring contoured bottoms and backrests, it offers excellent support and the utmost comfort. While seated in this chair, you'll still feel intimately connected to your surroundings, thanks to its low profile, which allows you to stretch out your legs. The chair also boasts wide armrests on both sides, providing a convenient place to rest your hands while enhancing overall comfort.

Stool 

The stool is meticulously designed to offer the perfect height for use as a chair, allowing individuals to comfortably sit and work at a standard-sized desk. Its ergonomic considerations ensure an optimal experience, prioritizing the utmost comfort for anyone utilizing it.

BACK STORY

The backstory to this project begins with my decision to embark on an exchange semester at the Royal College of the Arts in The Hague, Netherlands, where I was immersed in the study of furniture and interior design.

Upon my arrival in the Netherlands, I encountered a significant challenge - the housing crisis made it extremely difficult to find suitable accommodation. After a relentless search, I eventually secured a room, and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having a roof over my head. However, when I first entered the room, I was shocked to discover that its size was a mere 6 square meters. It was so cramped that I felt claustrophobic and anxious, making it nearly impossible to live in such a confined space.

Throughout my studies at the Royal College of the Arts, I took a topic of claustrophobia, which resonated with me due to my own experience. I realized that I had never truly lived in my room; it was merely a place for me to sleep.

In response to this revelation, I conducted a detailed analysis of my room and my living situation. This analysis served as the foundation for the design process that I undertook to create this project.

Humidity: Air coolers work by adding moisture to the air, which can make the air feel more humid. In areas with high humidity, this can make the air feel uncomfortably sticky.

Enjoying a cool breeze on a hot summer day feels fantastic. However, setting up a water cooler can be quite a task, demanding a significant amount of effort, time, and energy. This cooler is designed for both Western and Indian markets

"All the materials have been reclaimed from waste. In my own college in the Netherlands, people used to waste a lot of wood pieces which were in really good condition, sometimes even untouched ones, and other materials."

Wood

leathers and foam  

Over the course of a few weeks, I collected a significant amount of wood from the wood workshop. I would pick up any usable pieces of wood that I came across.  

"In Europe, the culture of used furniture often involves keeping unwanted items outside the house. I took the opportunity to collect leather and foam by cycling around my neighborhood and retrieving them from dumpsters or discarded sofas on the streets.
