Transforming Portable Furniture

The Lim and Lu Brand Is Now Offering Furniture For Frequent Movers

— May 25, 2017 — Art & Design
Lim and Lu is a relatively new design studio based in New York, and the brand recently collaborated with the Hong Kong design firm CL3 to create furniture pieces that suit the needs and lifestyles of individuals who move frequently.

The collection was inspired by hand trucks and trollies, and comes in a variety of pieces that have multiple functions. The brand's bench and coffee table, when placed vertically, transforms into a bookshelf, while its couch can function as a singular seat when it is positioned vertically. The pieces come in dark wood, bright pops of color, and have wheels – making them easily transferable from one space to another.

Lim and Lu's portable and multi-functional pieces are ideal for individuals who would like dynamic pieces of furniture to fill their homes.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Furniture - Designing and creating more furniture that is lightweight and easily transportable will cater to the needs of frequent movers and those living in smaller spaces.
2. Multi-functional Furniture - Creating furniture that serves more than one purpose saves space and money and caters to the growing demand for minimalist and practical design.
3. Convertible Furniture - The market for convertible furniture is expanding as more people seek flexibility and functionality in their living spaces, providing opportunities for innovation and creativity in design.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Industry - Manufacturers in the furniture industry can explore new markets and consumers by focusing on creating portable, multifunctional, and convertible furniture designs.
2. Interior Design Industry - Interior designers can offer their clients unique and practical solutions by incorporating furniture pieces that are designed for frequent movers and those living in smaller spaces.
3. Real Estate Industry - Real estate agents and property developers can cater to the growing segment of urban and nomadic dwellers by creating homes and apartments that are optimized for portable and multifunctional furniture.
