Lim and Lu is a relatively new design studio based in New York, and the brand recently collaborated with the Hong Kong design firm CL3 to create furniture pieces that suit the needs and lifestyles of individuals who move frequently.
The collection was inspired by hand trucks and trollies, and comes in a variety of pieces that have multiple functions. The brand's bench and coffee table, when placed vertically, transforms into a bookshelf, while its couch can function as a singular seat when it is positioned vertically. The pieces come in dark wood, bright pops of color, and have wheels – making them easily transferable from one space to another.
Lim and Lu's portable and multi-functional pieces are ideal for individuals who would like dynamic pieces of furniture to fill their homes.
