Resource Furniture: Italian-Designed Space Saving Furniture

18.8M views · 16 years ago · demo · dated

A Core77 video showing Resource Furniture's Italian-designed space-saving furniture, such as Murphy-bed style units that fold away and combine a bed with a desk. It demonstrates how transforming furniture makes small apartments more usable.

HN people recommend it as an example of impressive, well-engineered small-space furniture, and point to it when someone proposes a similar bed-and-desk combination.

“these guys make some amazing looking stuff.”

If you're interested in Murphy bed-style furniture, these guys make some amazing looking stuff. ▶ this video I'm much more interested in buying/engineering something like this, instead of raising my floor and getting motorized.

Some similar designs: ▶ this video link link As others have noted, the inability to leave items (particularly monitors) on the desk is a major downside. I'm a fan of the collegiate solution: a loft bed. This is particularly suitable where high ceilings are available, especially cathedral or A-frame designs.
