Yudina, Anna: Furnitecture

A compact sourcebook of ideas for innovative furnishing, interior environments and small-scale architectural interventions. As the definition of `er¿ expands and architects today create everything from jewelry to urban masterplans, a new wave of objects is transforming our interior spaces. They include bookshelves that can dynamically divide and reshape a room, chairs that create intimate room-like enclosures, home-office spaces-within-spaces, and self-contained kitchen cubes that can be expanded to reveal every conceivable cooking and eating function. Furnitecture presents some 200 examples of this new typology. From Danish studio KiBiSi¿s for a reconfigurable bookshelf system and Japanese architect Shigeru Ban¿s moving boxes within rooms, to Dutch ers Makkink & Bey¿s conversational Ear Chairs and the French atelier 37.2¿s series of self-standing cubes, there is an interior world of innovation in these pages. And a personal space just for you.
