  • Resource Furniture sells bookshelves, couches and desks- and a combination of the above- that are so highly engineered that they gracefully transform into beds.
    Gone is the amusing awkwardness of Murphy Beds, this more modern transforming furniture (much of it designed and made in Italy y Clei) is high style and almost, well, magical. Hydraulics make the transition from bookshelf or couch to bed a smooth and effortless thing to marvel.

    These are cool, but the fact that they are so expensive defeats the purpose, those who can afford to fill there apartment with this kind of furniture can also probably afford more space. Maybe they could be cool toys for rich people in there Manhattan condos, but not space saving furniture for typical urban families/renters.

    I love how my uncle (he's wealthy) bought a designer made apartment very much like this one, and he requested technologically advanced furniture. When me and my sisters went to stay there, I noticed a beautiful murphy bed just like these. And so I told him "Wow this is amazing" as I deployed the bed. He suddenly looks at me with a gaze of awe and says "Holy shit, how did you do that", and I noticed he was holding an inflatable bed he had bought not knowing anything about this. That weekend I found and showed him other five functionalities of other furniture he didn't know about.

      Yeah. There are different groups of people and the group that would go through the motions of transforming the beds daily is prolly smaller than the group who would get tired of doing it.
      The sell pitch needs to reflect that, dropping the drama the bed space is 'dead'.
      We spend a tremendous portion of our lives in and on our beds. No, beds don't just sit there and do nothing.

    "Yes, it may only be 400 sq ft. of floor space, but it ACTS like you have 1000 sq ft., so that's what you're paying for". It'll be a clever way for people to pay more for less.

When I got married 8 years ago we went to Ikea because it was all we could afford. We still go to Ikea because you get good value for space saving furniture, it helps when you live in LA.

      @@MorainStaria Yep it attempting to shame people for wanting decent size housing that can comfortably accomode their own needs. Furthemore it almost hints that people with large homes should partition their homes into hostels to save space.
      Now, I love this furniture. It is fun if this is what you want for getaway in the city or a small space, or room conversions for the occcational desk or divorced weekend parenting. But it is not ideal for a permantnt living situation, unless you are one or two people.
      A family should not have to go through constant conversions to utilize their space. It is not practica and it lacks privacy. If someone is tired or sick and wants to be in bed, and your partners wants to use the desk for work then you are in each others way just trying to live in the most comfortable respects.
      I bleme snobby, upper class, elitist trying to push Agend 21 thinking of craming humans in to tiny spaces. These nut jobs don't want poorer people to own anything, so they can control society much easier. After all if you own next to nothing your whole livihood is dependent on someone else with a lot more resources to provide for you. The extreme rich can afford to buy where-ever they want. Money is not an issue. They would live in these tiny dwelling just for fun but not a a permanent situation in life themselves. They are so greedy they demand top dollar for every thing and every service. Not all wealthy mind you, there is just a leftist group that thinks this way.

    • @lethiapage4767
      @lethiapage4767 5 лет назад +10

      What is untrue about what he's said? And what makes this leftist and condescending? (A really annoying jab by the way.) In a world that's getting more crowded, housing costs are ridiculous everywhere regardless of budget. And most people in the world don't just expect to live in 2500 sq ft of living space for 4 or 5 people. So if you compare standards of living it is, in fact, rather selfish what we insist upon and even call decent sized housing. Just because you don't see that kind of thing from your own window doesnt mean it isnt there.
      Lets just stop assuming its our right to sprawl out everywhere. By the way its also killing us. It has us on the never ending hamster wheel of the American dream...working yourself to death to buy a house and fill it with shit you don't need that you don't have time to use because we are working so hard to keep the house and keep the utilities on to heat and cool rooms that no one is home to use...enough really.
      So why can't small housing be perfectly acceptable esp if this guy is showing you how to do it? You don't have to buy his stuff. Just be inspired by it. Also he's not saying ev needs to bunk up 20 people deep in studio apartments to use his furniture. What he's saying is that when people are sleeping they aren't using other pieces of furniture and don't need access to storage. So if you can make a convertible bed that gives you daytime then you have more room to play and work, and store your stuff. That room is better utilized so you can live comfortably in smaller housing. That's spreading out without needing more house.
      I do agree that a lot of tiny house type of design is ridiculously hard to use. I would not enjoy playing Tetris all day either but again this stuff is counterweighted and everything so its really not that hard. I would also like to hear more about safety features. Can stuff fall on a child? Can it pinch small fingers? Can you get stuck inside a piece of furniture? But he shows you how to use his bed units for day and night and how to use everyday pieces for a gathering of more people. So its not like you are flipping things around all the time. If its just a couple steps here and there, what's the big deal?
      The point is scaling back and using everything we have more efficiently is important. It can really really liberate a family or anyone feeling like a worker bee with noting to show for it. If you have spaces and pieces (both in terms of furniture and other items) that are versatile by reliable and high quality, then you use them more so less becomes more. You can live comfortably in a smaller space that is easier to take care of and easier of pay for. If you are wanting to improve or grow, you can have a smaller house but a better house. Or a smaller house in a better neighborhood. Or a smaller house and use the money differently or save it and retire sooner. Or a smaller house and work less hours and have more free time. Or a smaller house that's harder to outgrow if you want another baby or if granny moves in. Etc etc. Its just a really easy way to improve your life. I don't see what makes that political. All this guy really said was...if you want the good life figure out what matters and do it efficiently.

    Fun and clever, but not practical. How long before the hinges and mechanisms start to break? Is it feasable for a household to live 100% tidy at all times? No leaving work on the desk to finish in the morning, because the bed folds down onto that desk.
    I would also be very nervous around furniture that tips up (and comes down!) at the lightest touch.
    An ingenious home, and perfect so long as you are tall, slim, able-bodied, super-organised and neat; and only ever entertain guests who are also tall, slim, and equally tidy. I do take offence at being called selfish and wasteful simply I can't use (or afford, frankly) this particular version of an Ideal Home.

    The only piece of furniture that may be truly needed is either a daybed or futon couch. All items can be stored in pull-out baskets beneath a bed, including one set of kitchenware, dry goods and a two-week wardrobe.
    There is a lot of space beneath a slightly elevated bed. No need for a loft.
    Sit on your bed to dine, study, lounge, entertain, etc. Eat with your plate in your lap. Rather than a desk, use a handheld computer or clipboard. Store handy items in a tote bag on a nearby hook.
    Store towels and cosmetic baskets on open narrow shelving over a toilet. Try a small 12" triangular bathroom sink without a vanity.
    Additional closets, cupboards, shelving, tables and chairs may not be needed. Try floor cushions.
    It's not about seeing how much stuff you can cram into a small space that you would ordinarily use in a larger home. It's about changing your behavior!

      No, it's partly because so many people want large homes that we're in our current situation. I'm Australia, cities don't stop sprawling out because everyone is so he'll bent on getting a house. So it becomes the norm to have a long commute, living in places with crappy urban planning, easily wasting 4 hours on transport everyday, adding to stress and pollution. Obviously there are many other factors at play in the price increase, like the advent of airbnb-like services, regulations that favour investors over live-in owners or no regulations on rental prices. But people need to realise we need to more densely. It's better for the environment and for people's health (long commutes bring about a whole host of physical, mental and emotional problems).

    In a dedicated adult bedroom the bed/desktop combo seems to makes a lot of sense, room is otherwise unused in daytime, and a dedicated office room is otherwise unused in Nighttime. For a young child a futon is a cheap solution to gain a lot of play space. School age kids usually want to have sofa to hang out so a collapsible bed/Desktop combo makes only sense if they really only use the desk for homework and rarely otherwise during the day. A Simple Collapsible desk would provide some extra room when needed, for sleepovers and the like. A big space save In the living room I found is to put a floor to ceiling storage cabinet behind the TV, instead of dedicating a lot of wall-space just for the TV. Getting the TV closer to the seating also means you get away with a smaller TV.

    This is exactly what I'm looking for! I'm moving to very small space. I've looked at day beds, hydraulic mattresses to store stuff under the bed, murphy beds but I still need to build shelves to utilize the vertical space in my very tiny odd shaped bedroom. The cost of materials, hiring someone to build for me is not cost effective. I'm happy to support this company! They have created a niche market and creating employment. I'm also self employed and applaud any company willing to take the risk and financial investment in trying something new! Looking at options now! wish me luck! :)

    I see some of these products being really good for a quest bedroom that isn't just a quest bedroom. Like maybe you have a home office or something but need a bed for someone who visits. I also see things like this becoming really popular in japan or other areas where you don't have a whole lot of space. Obviously if you live in a smaller town or city most of this stuff wouldn't make cents to you.

By the time you finance this furntiture the monthly payments means you could have lived in a biggar space.

  • @jublywubly
    @jublywubly 9 лет назад +4

    They mostly seem like great ideas, but a few of them aren't so good upon deeper inspection. The extendible table, for example, has boards that go across an A-frame of telescoping bars. That's fine for the end where the bars are wide apart, but the other end has bars that are really close together, so people would need to be very careful to keep things stacked near the centre, or the board would flip.
    All fold-down beds have several flaws. The mattress needs to be an exact thickness and needs to be one that will stay relatively flat, when the bed is vertical. They usually can't have bed covers left on them either.

      Welllllll, the problem he brings up is that with the growing population, we are becoming tighter on space. hence space saving furniture... thus allowing for a larger population-> more consumption -> more "carbon footprint".... so in perspective.... the exact opposite of what you want is happening. Its cool stuff, but if you want an answer to a global crisis, it is certainly not a bunch of friggin murphy beds.

    For small house, sometimes if you make celebration or invite friend, family for some lunch or dinner (8, 10 or even 12 people). It's safe a lot space. Cause usually our dinner table is small, it just have 4 chair & space only. But for small house, can't buy big dinner table cause it's lack of space & it's also not for everyday needing, just some times only.
    So this table is the best choice & its work for some special time, I would want this!!!

    This is brilliant stuff. I bought a 265sf efficiency aptmt in NYC, with a garden. Gave up a bedroom in exchange for a fun luxury feature. (in 1993, it was 65K) I worked out the space but sure wish some of this was available. the cost now of an aptmt in NYC. to buy is 1000-1500sf...and up. renting is even more expensive in the long run because you don't get to take advantage of appreciation. That aptmt is now valued at 500K. The value of living in an urban area is not how big your place is; it's how much is outside! Jobs!, Museums, an educated, amusing and diverse population, etc.
