Transformable furniture enhances its appearance

Until recently the dual-use furniture as the poufs-beds or the tables-console they seemed tremendously functional to us by helping to optimize the space but at the same time they were aesthetically outdated or they were not usually of good quality; in many cases combining them with other furniture was an adventure and they were often relegated to corners, guest rooms or storage rooms.

Today it has been greatly improved the design process of transformable furniture, and we can see many models of sofa bed with simple lines and contemporary style, and even go further in its possibilities, turning a sofa into a bunk bed without either of the two functions losing its decorative sense. The folding and lifting system is easy and fast; you can take advantage of the cushions and backrests for greater comfort, and the ladder hides under the sofa when it is closed.

At the contract level, the forms of the seats two in one, since new technologies have changed our habits and waiting areas in offices, hotels, airports ... have become the new work areas: French designer Matali Crasset proposes with Double Side a compact table with chair and filing cabinet included, where you can place the laptop and sit "on horseback"; turning the top panel 180 degrees gives way to a chair with a backrest that allows the rear space to be used as a magazine rack.

Children's furniture has always been linked to the possibilities of evolutionary use as the child grows, a maxim that is very well used in convertible cribs, but there are other options such as this piece from the Austrian company Das Möbel, which extends the life of a mini-crib (which is usually used for a maximum of five months) transforming it into a toy storage box; Furthermore, as it is made of nestable panels, it can be stored over time in a reduced space.
