Detachable Couches

The Slide Sofa is a Little Piece of Convenience

— April 16, 2010 — Art & Design
It's almost the end of the month and for those of you moving, it's time to start the dreaded pack-up. As I myself am one of those people, I am looking at the Sliding Sofa right now and wishing all--hell, any--of my furniture was this easy to move. Made from five molded pieces of anodized aluminum, the couch simply slips together when you are ready to use, and stacks up nicely when on the move.

Created by Baita Design, the Slide Sofa, is not only good for moving but also for cleaning. You know how heavy that couch is to move when vacuuming; imagine you could just pick it up and stack it in the corner! You would then have the cleanest apartment in all of the land, now wouldn't you?
Trend Themes
1. Detachable Furniture - The trend is towards the creation of a range of furniture that can be effortlessly disassembled and reassembled, providing greater convenience to consumers and greater ease of transport.
2. Modular Designs - Furniture designers are using modular designs to create pieces of furniture that can be extended or reconfigured to meet the changing needs of consumers.
3. Lightweight Materials - Designers are turning to lightweight materials like anodized aluminum to create furniture that is not only easy to move around, but also durable and long-lasting.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can capitalize on this trend by designing and producing furniture that fits the growing need for lightweight, modular, and easy-to-move pieces.
2. Moving and Relocation Services - Companies in the moving and relocation services industry can benefit from the demand for furniture that is easy to move and transport, by offering value-added services such as furniture disassembly and reassembly.
3. Durable Goods Manufacturing - Manufacturers of durable goods like appliances and electronics can adopt modular designs and lightweight materials to create products that can be easily transported and reconfigured to accommodate different spaces and lifestyles.
