The [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flourish-table-lamp) Smart Furniture is a specially designed piece of smart moveable tech and design that allows home owners to customize the shape and use of the moveable thanks to a [changeable exoskeleton frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco). The device is a framework that can be expanded or shortened as well as adapted to different layouts and spaces, allowing consumers to built temporary beds, mattresses, couch cushion space and more from one single unit.

Having [furniture that is flexible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) is a primary benefit to many millennials that tend to live in smaller spaces, while simultaneously seeking out products for the home that double up in functionality. The Philips Smart Furniture allows moveables to be altered in its fixed state to increase or diminish the size and space, as needed to suit the home.
