Compact Multi-Room Moveables

The Matroshka Collection Can Fully Furnish a Micro Flat

— October 6, 2011 — Art & Design
A shoebox apartment would no longer feel like a cramped place to live if it was fitted out with the Matroshka set. Quit frankly, with the efficient and compact setup that this collection of products offers, you would be living as if you were limited to an utterly small space, even though your home might boast an expansive floor area.

Inspired by the babushka or the matryoshka Russian dolls, this kit of space-saving furniture provides the user with four rooms within just 15 square meters. The elevated study space maintains a fixed arrangement, while storage boxes, cushions and a table can be tucked away beneath it. The Matroshka collection expands to provide stools, an L-shaped sofa, a dining and coffee table plus a bed to accommodate a full range of domestic activities with a remarkably tiny area.

1. Space-saving Furniture - The Matroshka collection demonstrates the growing trend of compact and efficient furniture for small living spaces.
2. Micro Living - The Matroshka collection taps into the trend of micro living, providing a fully furnished solution for small apartments.
3. Multi-functional Design - The Matroshka collection showcases the trend of multi-functional furniture that can transform to meet various needs in limited space.
Industry Implications

2. Furniture Manufacturing - The Matroshka collection highlights the need for furniture manufacturers to develop compact and versatile products for small living spaces.
3. Real Estate Development - The Matroshka collection opens up possibilities for real estate developers to market fully furnished micro apartments as a solution for limited living space.
