Resource Furniture realizes that one’s choice is furniture is often as constrained by practical concerns as it is motivated by aesthetic preferences. The company aims to address both form and function in the inventive transforming furniture they import from European designers and distribute in North America and Asia.
The furnishings are able to flip, slide and fold their way into different modes so as to preserve the valuable and limited space of smaller abodes such as apartments, studios and condos. For example, a dining room table is a must for most dinner parties, but what if one doesn’t have the space to dedicate exclusively to a large table? Well, Resource Furniture sells a product that, in one mode, is a writing desk while in another mode, expands into a dining room table that can seat 12 to 14 people.
