Living in a big city has its ups and downs. A definite downside is the lack of living space, which is most evident in New York City. In the Big Apple, the rent is high and the space is limited. So how do make the most out of what you got?
New York Functional Furniture makes high-quality furniture that is multi-purpose and perfect for urban living. With their recently launched Kickstarter campaign, NYFU is determined to make living comfortable, affordable and easier in New York and big cities all over the world.
Their collection includes everything from ottomans to wall art, and nearly every piece has multiple uses -- which comes in handy when you're only working with 250 square feet. The Tribeca Nesting Table can be used as a footstool, nightstand or coffee table. The NY+U Storage Desk is ideal for workspace and stowing away loose obejects. And the SeatPacking Sofa is must-have for those who like to entertain because it's both a double bed and a 3-seater sofa.
And to kick-off their Kickstarter campaign, NYFU is challenging fans to pick their favorite neighborhood in New York City. By voting in the 32 neighborhood, bracket-style NYC Neighborhood Challenge, you will be entered in a draw to win items from the NYFU collection. Each time your winning neiborhood advances, you'll have a chance at winning a prize.
Head over to NYFU to vote and be entered into the weekly draws.
