These folding furniture designs are functional and store away quickly and efficiently in seconds. Great for small spaces, RockPaperRobot's 'Ollie Collection' features pieces that can pull in and out like an accordion, transforming functional furniture into flat boards that can be stacked, stowed and concealed.
The table in the Ollie Collection is made up of connecting slats that have a certain flexibility that allows it to collapse and lay flat against the wall. The chair, equally sturdy, is also made up of wooden slats that can collapse into a two-dimensional object.
With increasing rent prices and more individuals living alone in bachelor apartments, space-saving furniture has a growing market. These folding furniture designs essentially double people's work or living space by letting consumers temporarily put away unused furniture without requiring a large storage space.
