Manufactured by Japanese furniture makers Atelier OPA, the Kenchikukagu series of mobile furniture, draws on the concept of Skeleton Infill housing- a concept in which the skeleton of the house is preserved while the insides change to highlight the space saving ingenuity of the region. With highly effective designs like a mobile work station, a mobile bed and a mobile kitchen thrown in, the series allows apartment dwellers to cramp in all the essential furniture necessary for urban living, without compromising on form or functionality.
What’s different?
Folded down, all the items in the series look hardly any different than an average medium sized cabinet or even a large armoire. But when opened up, they reveal the goodness of their multifunctional practicality, with several drawers opening up to reveal work surfaces. The furniture leaves no room for complaint even though cooking, working or even sleeping in a piece of foldaway furniture takes a little getting used to. The video below will help you understand the working of the series a little better.
Price and Availability: Retailing for 800,000 yen (tax included), the series can be purchased online at Amazon Japan though shipping is restricted within the country only.
