3-in-1 Furniture in a Box

One To Three For Five (Seconds)

It seems that "furniture in a box" is the new black in design. It's all about cramming functional designs in a simple unassuming box that saves space when the furniture is not used, and also keeps your place looking less cluttered and more abstract. The key design issue to keep in mind here is that it should be easy and fast to assemble or "de-compress" the pieces.

Designer John Nouanesing came up with this unique “One To Three For Five (Seconds)” that transforms in five seconds from one box into three pieces of furniture, two chairs and a table.
