BOOKFURNITURE is a brand that offers multifunctional moveables for the home that are built to flat-pack into a slim workbook of sorts that is large-scale and made out of strong kraft paper. The book can open up and become a variety of furniture items such a coffee table, stool, chair and more.

The BOOKFURNITURE is a single item that offers cross-functional use to consumers seeking compact moveables for smaller dwellings. The unit comes flat-packed as a notebook that opens up like an accordion to become a circular stool. Despite being made of kraft paper with a concrete exterior, the BOOKFURNITURE can hold up to 900-pounds of weight. Several units can be stacked together as well to create different designs suited to the home owner's needs and functionalities.
