Hi-Tech Space-Saving Furniture
Written by Jennifer Heyns
From award-winning Latvian designer Rolands Landsbergs comes a unique line of furniture under the name Boxetti. The Boxetti concept is to create and produce furniture that can multitask (something the modern person can cherish and admire), while at the same time being uniquely space-efficient.
The furniture in the Boxetti Collection is exceedingly modern in appearance, with its sleek white sheen, boxy shapes and interior lines set at odd intervals and angles. Upon first glance one isn’t sure what to make of the pieces; they just look like odd, shiny white boxes, but this is one time where curiosity is not only welcome, it’s your only shot at finding each piece’s full potential.
The Boxetti Lounge, for example, is a large, standalone piece that can easily serve as a large work surface or tall coffee table. Manipulate the piece from different angles, however, and you’ll find that it can be morphed into a three-seat sofa with upholstered cushions and two small coffee tables, or a one-seat lounge with work space adjacent.
Additional adjustable pieces that are built-in can extend the tabletop fold-up wings on either side, or smaller wings on the back can be set to offer small extendable table tops.
The Boxetti Private is another unique piece that is an all-inclusive bedroom set. A Murphy bed folds up or down by remote control together with an integrated night table. Above the bed is a light to provide illumination for nighttime reading. The remainder of the unit is broken up into six wardrobe sections where users can hang, fold or store clothing in shelf, drawer or door areas.
Several other pieces complete the Boxetti ensemble, and what’s remarkable is that the furniture is designed for such small living quarters that you could easily have the entire collection in one spacious room and be offered the function of a full-scale home.
Sleeping, lounging, entertaining, working and cooking can all be done in one tight space without ever overcrowding.

Odd but true remodels
Looks like design out of a futuristic Japanese spaceship cartoon. It is definitely thought-provoking and innovative, I'm just wondering if in the end it is all that useful.
