Even the smallest space can be very functional with the right furniture – great potential lies in a tiny space too. If you do not have separate rooms, the room can be used as a bedroom, dining room and living room.
At ICFF 2015, Resource Furniture presented ergonomic furniture, namely, wardrobe-bed systems, designed in conjunction with the Italian line Clei.
A huge difference compared to the folding beds of the past.
This system is functional, stylish, comfortable and unique. It will help you make efficient use of space in your home..
After examining the models presented at ICFF, Challie Stillman, Design Director at Resource Furniture, spoke about the products that the company makes. Stillman is known for thinking outside the box and being creative..
You have had a long-term relationship with Clei. What makes Clei products different from other space-saving systems?
Clei has been designing and manufacturing such furniture systems for over 50 years. To say that they have perfected a high-quality multi-functional design would be an understatement. Clei has established itself in Europe and we have recognized the demand in North America for skillfully designed furniture that maximizes space. It was an easy task.
Urban dwellers are obviously the main buyers of such furniture systems. As suburban customers incorporate ergonomic furniture into homes where there is much more space?
Our furniture is, of course, more suitable for city apartments, but in fact, most of our clients live outside of New York. Suburbanites need places that truly double the footprint!
For example, guest rooms are not occupied most of the time. Multifunctional furniture helps create spaces that can be a TV room or a home office, but can easily be converted into a guest room!
What’s the most popular? Urban residents prefer furniture that is different from that of suburbanites?
Our very popular wardrobe-bed wall systems, as well as bunk bed systems, and both are popular both in the city and in the suburbs.
What was the smallest space you installed these products in?
We have installed furniture in 15 square meters in Harlem, in tiny houses of less than 28 square meters and even in a railroad car.
What’s next? Can we expect innovative products?
Yes! We will introduce fresh products a little later … including new systems from Clei!
Resource Furniture has a variety of design lines, all customizable to the specific needs of the client. Since every detail is custom made, the furniture will solve any storage problem and fit perfectly into the space. Here we look at some of their suggestions..
