20 minutes about a 400sqft apartment that transforms into five rooms

[Andrew Milne]

You might have seen this, it got a lot of press, but I thought it was neat to finally see all the details in action:

All the furniture is from a company called Revolve furniture, which has a showroom down in Gastown. The furniture is horrendously expensive (like $5000 for a little transforming bed) but it seems super hackable. I'm pretty sure the dining room table they use is actually made from stock aluminum extrusion, I was looking at it in the store...

Anyway, might give you some ideas.

I used to make custom furnature and really $5000 for low production bed is pretty reasonable. Lots of really good ideas in there. I suggest we all watch this and kinda pay attention to how things work. I think in a new space, even if it's not ideal, we can make it ideal using really cool methods such as the moving wall or fold up furniture.

And of course, I keep looking at this and going, "heh, i can print that"... when you have a hammer...

I love the stoves!!!... you can really just have the stove where you need it. I also love the table, wow, that's elegant. Where's the soldering station go though?... and the laser cutter... man... there's no room for any of the fun toys.

The desk are too high setting comfortable with feet on the floor.
