Multifunctional modular furniture "cajas"

Pre-existences and conditions

  • design for myself after moving 23 times
  • packing and unpacking as a painful task on each move (never enough 'banana' boxes)
  • need of flexibility as every house is different

Concept and solution

  • modular system of 'boxes' that can be piled or grouped
  • the size of the unit is calculated so one person can carry it even if full
  • the box is used as carrying-box and as furniture, so no need for packing and unpacking when moving
  • the size is calculated so each box has different functions - seat, book shelves, stool...
  • when they are grouped form bigger furniture - sideboard, side table, bed and nightstands
  • an extra individual platform with wheels make them easy to move and reorganize any time
