Space saving furniture that transforms 1 room into 2 or 3

[cassiopex]

Wow! Heaven sent ingenious... but how much???

[smasila]

It’s funny how they advertise this as the new way of living. But really, people are forced to live in smaller area’s because RE keeps going up.

RE goes up because the government continue to low rates and print money like crazy.

Every time I see these vids, I think to myself. We are one step closer to voluntary prisons.

9 beds

[halexa28]

where did you buy them

[raginh8r]

Who does this guy think he is telling people "it's utterly selfish to have 5 bedrooms"? So what!! Mind you your own fucking business!

[angelxtasy]

this is awesome

[rosevacation]

很貴嗎？合台幣多少？台灣有賣嗎？

[xXbloodcandyXx18]

I was like every tjing he opens is a fucking bed!!!

[imstricken06]

Me & my girlfriend would destroy these beds in 6months time. We'd literally fuck the bed/desk/wall/couch apart LOL

[FatDancer08]

i bet he lives in a big mansion selling all that to people :D

[SABOREAME68]

Evidently, it takes care of those small dilemmas, when one lives in a small place.

[AJwentyoyoyoyo]

this is some voodoo shit..

[LBC015]

WATCH THE GLASS TABLE AT 4:30 DISAPPEAR.

[gaupham]

Bed everywhere but what do you touch that turns into a girlfriend?

[chubbychilli]

Even if I had a big flat/house, I'd still want these.

[imegatrone]

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this couches and desks- and a combination of the above- that are so highly engineered that they gracefully transform into beds.

[bundawartini]

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge Resource Furniture sells bookshelves, couches and desks- and a combination of the above- that are so highly engineered that they gracefully transform into beds.

[afakethrum]

I want every single one of those furnitures but live 6000 miles away from NY so it's time for reverse engineering.

[WillM6633]

like 40 people can sleep there

[smasila]

@WillM6633 LOL...40 people? This is a design firm. This is NOT in a CONDO!

[4Lagoon]

wo gibt es Sowas in Deutschland ??????

[zodiacsoldier]

this reminds me of Glenn Quagmire's house how everything turns into a bed haha

[Trofimov174]

Before us is an ordinary toilet, now I'm taking it down, press the button flush ... and ... * creak and groan *... Yes, this bed again

[StarMagnet1]

is this place made for orgys or something



[realdealfurniture]

how comfortable do you think those beds are?

[myturningtables]

So in the future, teenagers can have a 20 people sleepover?

[botchok5]

too much effort...............

[hugaboyh2]

anyone thinks this guys is like quagmire from family guy... everything is a hidden bed for hmm hmm

[olger05]

@hugaboyh2 hahahah lol

[huntersmith64]

where do you buy them

[kirstendirksen]

@huntersmith64 In the U.S. they're distributed by Resource Furniture. I have a link to their site on the original story on faircompanies (link above). Though in other countries you might try looking up one of their main manufacturers, Clei (an Italian company).

[resourcefurniture]

@kirstendirksen thanks, Kirsten! I love watching your videos. I learn something new every time.

[taurenny]

lol. the glass table disappears after he pulls the bed over it and up again

[kailie514]

Why do they like beds so much?

[soondooboo1]

This is amazing. We can learn a lot from this architectural philosophy

[pistoldisco33]

4:36 never mind, I noticed the glass table will magically disappear once you bring the bed up

[pistoldisco33]

4:19 don't put anything on that glass table though

[apetrowsky1]

Can some of these products be integrated into tiny homes on wheels?

[lightspeednoodles]

This is what ikea will be like in 50 years time.

[1998pakistan]

Thumbs up for the lady at 3:49 :P

[TheGleeVids]

@1998pakistan Nobody liked it. Your such a loser .

[1998pakistan]

@TheGleeVids STFU Asshole

[cloudld]

I think you only spend 150K per room if you buy this guy's stuff.

[BlueStrikeP]

@cloudld "Honey! I sold a bed today!"  "Oh great! now we can buy a new car!"

[havefaith89]

He's a big guy, he should have gotten on the beds to show that they're sturdy. They look fragile especially the top one of the bunk beds. Kids are bigger day by day

[goawaynotavailable]

College dorm :) can u guys make a refrigerated keg that folds into the wall? Or make a computer desk that can double as a couch? How much do these cost?

[lycan491]

haow many bed`s you need?

[colleenbelle]

That's awesome. But with morris beds, surely you have to pull all the pillows and whatnot off before you fold it up so that they don't fall down and get stuck in the thingymagig...?

[eafinannie]

Where's fluffy!!!?

[Fl3mOn80r]

9 beds, WTF? how many do they need?

[1night1day]

im confused. for the unit at 2:40, how does the table work? it isnt a simple hinge design as with the shelves on the other models. its construction only allows the table to move along the z axis and not x or y (so it only goes up and down). good design

[gardenburger]

great idea but one question, and i am not being a fool, when i am screwing won't the stuff fall off the shelves? really!

[IlovelouisDTV]

some of this stuff looks dangerous....your child stands on this couch and hangs from this handle and voila, your child is now under a bed!

[mrstrick24]

I love that black and white table. THe coffee table idea is something I actually want for my small apatrment

[skinnyblackmeni]

I just got one very good idea that can make me rich using all of thes things, the problem is i dont have money, to get rich you have to be rich, or at least have some money! ohh well 

[JennyContrary]

HGTV's transformers!

[R13L1001]

This would go great in a tumble weed house :D And I plan on getting one!

[rahla53]

Love it!

[cdltpx]

I would love to see what his people can do with the new Prius V? I bet he would have a popup camper that would be able to fully support a couple complete with matching mopeds? Imagine a motorhome that could get 40 mpg?

[themuin]

Everything he touches sudenly becomes a BED!

What kind of sorcery is this?!

[mellamosean]

@themuin

Quagmire from family guy was way ahead of this guy...

[emann43]

Only problem with this is..what if a spring on your fancy hydraulic system breaks, or youre missing a screw..etc.

[elioz76]

@emann43 you get a lifetime warranty on mechanism.

[emann43]

its 2011 damnit, why don't we all have these cool ass rotating fold-out beds?!

[marimateen]

having a fold out bed would be so cool but i know that when i come home drunk ill almost always end up on the couch.

[lilJayer]

It's like Quagmires house

[mrmrmrwatermellon]

@lilJayer japanese version

[Cryzallite]

love the color scheme, that White/Wine/Black combination is brilliant.

[L5XJX]

the reason why we have to do this is because of all the people in the world having unprotected sex, maybe if we stop helping people in 3rd world, it will reduce the problem of overpopulation

[jaejunie]

this house doesn't work. if i had to choose between using the bed and the desk, i'd always choose the bed. i need the bed and desk separately.

[IntarwebUser]

I want a fold-out bed and the extendable dining table. Those are my favorites.

[UnicornBrock]

Is this house for the brady bunch?

[Augurae]

It's really good design but the pricing is stupid: people with enough money to buy these furnitures have enough money to buy big space in which they don't need foldable furnitures...

[sayyes1000]

lol everything becomes a bed... its kind of like quagmire's house

[MrChelove]

The average price for anything in the store is around $6,000. Who would buy such furnitures for that price?

[RealityCheck05]

I could do without the attidute of judgemental, self-righteous indignation toward people who just want to be comfortable while sleeping. However, this setup is, without question, "baller."

[RatRaceAce]

I like the ideas from a designer's point of view. But I wish societies address the REAL problem: instead of finding ways to fit humans into tinier and tinier spaces, why not find ways to keep our population down?

We are taking it for granted that populations MUST keep going up. WHY is that so important for us? Why not visualise a planet with population between 3 and 4 billion, giving ourselves plenty of space and resources and great quality of life? Why do humans value quantity over quality?

[Augurae]

@RatRaceAce Good idea, let's start by killing yourself so we can keep the population down.

[inagod]

its nice but until the cost comes down,your not going to see this mainstream,which is where companies like IKEA come into it.

[ZanaTianaTim]

That is definetly MORE than 5 beds.

[x9x9x9x9x9]

I like the facts theres a sleepys outside the window.

[brooklyn2393]

2 words...... NO PRIVACY

[jockinwhatimrockin]

I love how when he explains the furniture, it all of the sudden it turns into a bed. What next? "This toilet 3ft tall and can also be used as a sink. With a flip of a few small adjustments you then have a king size bed.."

[nikefreak01]

it almost looks like a space station, although ive never been to one

[5botball]

There are 5 people in my house!!! We need 5 mattresses!!!!!!!

[ClosetKitten]

the thing is u cannot do all things at same time like drinking coffer in table while others want to sleep lol ^^ it should be done one by one :) no one sleep till someone not finish yet her/him coffee

[JoshuaAlexandre]

They keep saying that it saves money, but I doubt this stuff is cheep. So I don't think you're really saving that much. Maybe it'll be cheeper in a few years.

[kirstendirksen]

@JoshuaAlexandre They're not cheap. Much more expensive than buying a bed and a desk or whatever, but it's about buying space I suppose. Though I like the idea that's been suggested here of trying to build your own... at least for the DIY types. And that way you can use the materials you choose.

[jnamon83]

@JoshuaAlexandre The idea is that if you are in an urban setting where you are paying an extremely high rent for a limited space, you save money in the long run by creating rooms that can do more, rather than paying more rent for more rooms.

[leonmichaelang]

i understand that its space saving. but how much does this furniture cost? it might cost more than the real estate.

[Gell1welt69]

Nice

[serenekitchen]

Looks like quagmire's house with his hidden beds in family guy

[MasonsVlogasim]

TRANSFORMERS FURNITURE IN DISGUISE!

[Romashk]

the retractable table: where do you store the boards?

[Surirygirl]

@Romashk Did you see the orange storage bin underneath? I am pretty sure you put them in there. My friend has a retractable table and it came with the underneath storage cabinate. (sp?)

[icemagician5]

Needs more beds

[ginynader]

love it!!!!!!! me encanta

[MsHarmony123]

this is very clever!

[PspGear]

and there comes your bed.....

[tokodan]

i think all of these are great ideas and designs. But what I'd probably hate the most would be having to open&close my bed every night and every morning and before closing it you need to fasten the strap so the sheets don't fall off. If there was a mechanism that makes your bed automatically and then puts your bed in place, it would be perfect. And I am sure that we'll see that in the years to come.

[uncleoflaugh]

so what do you do with ur new space

[novakkosanovic]

more moving parts = more chance something breaks + for the money you spend on this you can buy a biger place + cheaper furniture. I like the concept BUT only as a concept cuz this thing doesnt make much sense....7-12k for a bad and a shelf is a lil too much especially when marketed as a thing that "saves" your money buy aloving you to rent/buy a smaller (and cheaper) flat/house

[Kathilisi]

I dislike Murphy beds that are nothing but a bed that looks like a wardrobe but you can't use it for anything else. I like the ideas shown here... and some of them look like they could be possible to recreate yourself. You probably won't be able to operate it with your fingertips, but hey, you'll be saving a trip to the gym - and a few thousand bucks as well.

[pelforthpelforth]

admirable in principle and design - loved it

[K1ngMcL3an]

Gaping holes?? :/

[Burly914]

i like the third one and fifth one :)

[pmoraisjr]

What company is this?

[kirstendirksen]

@pmoraisjr This is Resource Furniture's showroom in New York City. They are a distributor for different space-saving furniture manufacturers. Most of the beds are made by Clei which are designed and made in Italy.

[hughtub]

In a highly populated area where $/sqft is high, I could see this being quite useful. I'd personally enjoy a more barebones cheaper version without hydraulics, but I love the designs and engineering involved in these. Efficient and minimalist, just how I like things. Consider that a bed renders the entire volume above it useless, and most homes cost $70-100/sqft, so getting back maybe 24sqft is worth quite a bit, you don't have to buy such a big house if you save a lot of space.

[LovelyHerbanRenewal]

oh these look so cool and would work well in a tiny space, but not with a tiny budget. They are really nice though.

[kerflop]

all those beds look REALLY uncomfortable. I don't know if anyone noticed but they're all strapped in too which would probably make them even less comfortable.

[kerflop]

all those beds look REALLY uncomfortable.

[HoldEmRules]

Cool furniture but unfortunately they are always ridiculously expensive. Hopefully IKEA copies this and sells it for a reasonable price, forcing the original designers to charge a reasonable price.

[Tonks1967]

This stuff is really good. But its price out of my budget. The rich don't need to save space they them self live in 3000 sq ft homes and bigger. Its use that live in 1000sq ft homes need those ideas!! There four in my family. I really look at this idea for the boys room. Dose anyone remembers christopher lowell he give lots of idea for small place. He did a diy murphy bed you could make your self. He was a head of his time. Would be nice if IKEA would!!

[msfullroller]

@Tonks1967 Yep, I definitely remember Christopher Lowell. His first show where he really showed you how to DIY many items was "Interior Motives". His show after that was OK but lost the focus I think of his original show even though it was extended to 1 hour. I totally agree with you, he was ahead of his time

[TheVJProduction]

over priced end of story

[nicolasboullosa]

Nice concepts. I wonder if one could combine such mechanisms with a bit of DIY (to make it cheaper / change the style / make it + minimalistic, etc.) I'd like to see them in a nice wood, etc. A Dutch company turns recycled newspaper into a nice "woodish" composite. I'd buy the concept and mechanism and would adapt it to both my taste and needs.

[kirstendirksen]

@nicolasboullosa Good point. You can definitely DIY a Murphy bed. The hydraulics and extras on these might make it more difficult to do yourself, but am sure there are people up to the task. Love the idea of customizing them.

[0urGaia]

@nicolasboullosa, With a couple hydraulic gas struts ~$20ea from automotive/camper market, shouldn't be that difficult for DIY. Can get more idea's from goggling images for fold away wall beds. One such image has lcd tv at bottom of bed that becomes wall PC when bed folds up.

[ericnovak]

What do the prices look on these things?

[kirstendirksen]

@ericnovak They're not cheap. About 7-12K for the Clei beds. It's a lot, though I suppose you're buying not just the couch/desk/bed (or whatever combination), but hopefully, also an extra room.

[aznmigitman1118]

great for a dorm

[pepperminttea42]

I do love the beds for box rooms and spare beds (because the idea of keeping an entire spare room only used a few times a year for guests strikes me as mad), but for my own bed... nah. The tables are amazing though!

[BootCampFX]

WOW cool stuff! :D

[ladontloveu]

I loved this video. If i had money I'd buy a lot of this furniture, it's such a great idea.

[mmr11027]

Holey Moley that adjustable long table is amazing! I think the fold up beds that adjust for easy sheet changing was a great idea as well.

[Hossified]

Now imagine old retired people having to do this everyday

[dcstrike]

@Hossified Agreed there's still more room for improvement with regards for lifting/safety for kids and the elderly. But I'd rather people just stopped having so many damn babies that we wouldn't have to worry about space.

[Hossified]

@dcstrike This kind of stuff is a great idea for college dorms though.

[dcstrike]

@Hossified I like the comment below that IKEA will start making this stuff soon. Cause I think only the rich can afford this right now :(.

[excalipoor]

hmm.. if the bathroom is foldable that would be great. =)

[khunopie]

I once got so drunk that I slept in the refrigerator by mistake :(

[phenochio]

WOW! this is really something awesome and smart. 

[mbechea1]

36 feet of book shelf

[Slade083]

@mbechea1 6 shelves, each 6 feet long.

[zandvlootje]

I dont see the reason to have so many beds. Like the idea but it its better to use that space for other fold out things.

[fl0r1svdk]

but what about desktop pc's

[RobertGraaf]

I think it's just a couple of years before IKEA starts selling furniture like this

[Kathilisi]

@RobertGraaf When IKEA starts selling these, I'm definitely buying! I'd build one myself if I had the skills to make it work.

[gianna910]

awesome..
