Play Tetris with Your Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

— February 22, 2007 — Art & Design
Brave Space is a group of three designers based in Brooklyn who have finally capitalized on the inherent modularity of Tetris pieces. If you don't know Tetris, it's a video game where (I think) 6 distinct pieces drop from the sky, and it's the job of the game player to fit the pieces together in the most efficient way possible. The website also has a little kit which you can download and cut out the tetris shapes to figure out how you'll create your own Tetrad at home. I love the concept, however I'm a bit skeptical of the construction. I didn't fully understand how the boxes clipped together. Also, the edge detailing is sort of that funky, leave it exposed to save money, kind of finish which I'm cool with but gets overused (at least at my design firm). Brave Space have a number of other excelent furniture pieces, but I'm affraid that they will never produce a piece as iconic as the Tetrad again.
Trend Themes
1. Modular Furniture - Opportunity for creating furniture that can be easily rearranged and customized to fit different spaces and needs using modular components.
2. Gamification of Design - Opportunity to incorporate game-like elements into product design to engage users and enhance creativity.
3. DIY Furniture - Opportunity for consumers to participate in the design and assembly process by providing DIY kits for creating their own furniture.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Innovative designs and manufacturing processes can disrupt the traditional furniture industry by offering more flexible and interactive options for customers.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate modular furniture and gamified design concepts to create unique and interactive spaces for their clients.
3. Gaming and Toy Industry - Opportunity for the gaming and toy industry to explore new avenues by developing products that combine the elements of gaming and design, appealing to a wider audience.
