At a time when many of us - due to finances, the environment or increasing urbanization- are trying to put our homes on a diet,

theres one obvious place to cut: our bedrooms. The bed is dead , says !on "arth of !esource #urniture. To "arth, the idea of occupying a room $ust to house a bed is archaic. This is because "arth sells beds that are so far beyond the traditional %urphy "ed, its aw&ward to even bring up the term. !esource #urniture sells boo&shelves, couches and des&s- and a combination of the abovethat are so highly engineered that they gracefully transform into beds. 'one is the amusing aw&wardness of %urphy "eds, this more modern transforming furniture (much of it designed and made in )taly by *lei+ is high style and almost, well, magical. ,ydraulics ma&e the transition from boo&shelf, or couch, to bed a smooth and effortless thing to marvel. -ot only can most of it be done with your fingertips, but you dont even have to remove anything from the boo&shelf or des&. .verything is so carefully engineered, that during the transformation boo&s can stay on the boo&shelf and your piles of stuff can stay on your des&. The des& and shelves remains parallel to the floor the entire time. /ouve got to see it to believe it. )n this video, !esource #urniture founder !on "arth tal&s about a future where not only bedrooms, but dining rooms will do double duty. ,e shows us the furniture that ma&es this future loo& awfully attractive. 0h, and he doesnt call his furniture space-saving. ,e sees it as something bigger, as space, reinvented. 1pace is a constraint that is beginning to hit us these days. 2ith an ever rising population, the demand for space is only bound to increase with time.

#or centuries, furniture is made for the same purposes. 3es&s, tables and wor&benches provide space for wor& and dining. *hests, cabinets and cases are built for storage. 1ofas, chairs, beds and benches are made for resting.

1pace saving furniture is furniture designed to ma&e the best use of the e4isting space. )t is especially important as apartment furniture and condo furniture where space may be limited.

To ma&e the best use of the available space, the furniture may be designed somewhat smaller than traditionally-sized furniture, or may be used for more than one purpose. #urniture designed for space saving can be used in a number of different applications. 1ome pieces even come on wheels so that they can be rolled up and stored out of the way when not in use. )t is even possible to get sin&s, complete with counter tops, that are li&e this. ,owever, most space saving furniture is more traditional in its design. )n the office environment, one of the &eys to space saving furniture is its modular design. 5ust li&e a $igsaw puzzle fits tightly together, modular furniture helps ma&e the most of an area by fitting it neatly together with other pieces. 2hile it may not be possible to ma&e every piece of furniture fit e4actly perfect, the space savings that come along with such a design are significant.
