Imagine: You have been invited for a get-together and you walk into a home with walls decorated with great pieces of art and absolutely no furniture to sit on. By the time you wonder, why the host has invested in art instead of furniture, the host removes each piece of art from the wall and transforms them into a set of cozy furniture! Sounds too good, to be true?
Yes, it’s for real and will probably the new trend of functional furniture. Minimalist is the new mantra of home-decor Gurus. Art gets functional as more designers are becoming practical and are designing functional pieces of contemporary furniture to cater to the growing needs of small spaces.
Now, you get to hang or fold up you chair, table or sofa (even your flooring!) so that it occupies less space and can be used as and when you entertain or socialize. These pieces don’t look insipid on your walls; instead they look like actual pieces of art with stimulating visuals.
So, all you need to do is hang this piece of art on the wall, dismantle it and fix it up to transform it into a great piece of practical furniture.
A good example of functional art is ‘Fix It On The Wall’ designed by London based designer John Nouanesing. ‘Fix-it-on-the-wall’ is a decorative picture which can be customized with colours, textures, and prints as per the theme of your home decor and when you take it off the wall, it gets transformed into cozy center table with four cushioned seating that you could serve your coffee and snacks on.
That’s really something out of another thing!
