# Engaging Playful Residences This Home Features a Mobile Furniture Unit for Flexible Recreation By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-furniture References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/09/01/interior-for-students-ruetemple-russia-mobile-furniture-giant-hammocks/) & [ruetemple.ru](http://ruetemple.ru/) Russian studio Ruetemple furnished this country home with mobile furniture and a hammock, creating a dynamic space for both work and play. The space includes a [convertible seating cube on wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-mobile-unit), as well as a staircase-bookshelf hybrid. The biggest challenge for the architects was to create a space that would continue to be engaging for the residents. The seating cube is comprised of three parts, which can be organized in a multitude of ways, from a triumvirate of sofas, a linear arrangement or even a bed. There is also the option of closing the cube entirely, creating a room within a room. On the opposite end of the room, a work space containing [desks, shelves, cupboards and a staircase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet) is permanently installed, so as to "avoid any sense of fragmentation." The finished space facilitates recreation, relaxation and study in a seamless, flexible manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Furniture:** Designing furniture that can be easily moved and transformed offers flexibility and adaptability to changing needs. - **Convertible Spaces:** Creating spaces that can be reconfigured to serve multiple purposes allows for maximized usage of limited space. - **Dynamic Interiors:** Designing interiors that promote engagement and interaction through playful and interactive elements enhances the overall user experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Integrating mobile and convertible furniture into interior design concepts can provide innovative solutions for compact living spaces. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturing versatile and adaptable furniture pieces can cater to the growing demand for flexible and space-efficient furnishing. - **Architecture:** Incorporating dynamic and interactive elements into architectural designs can create engaging and multifunctional spaces for both residential and commercial projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reconfigurable Modular Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco.md) - [Interlocking Living Room Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interlocking-living-room-furniture.md) - [Sliding Grid-Affixed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-to-square.md) - [Playful-Focused Polish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/znamy-si.md) - [Play-Friendly Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-nook-modular-furniture-system.md) - [Mountainous Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-furniture.md) - [Contemporary Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-system.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Dynamic Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube.md)
