Prompt: Designing a multi-functional system that can transform into stairs
Material: Plywood PLA for 3D Printing
Tools: Rhino 3D, Grasshopper, 3D Printing, Laser Scanning
This project explores the intersection of adaptability and space efficiency by designing a multi-functional furniture system that seamlessly transforms into a table, bookshelf, and staircase. The concept was driven by the need for dynamic, space-saving solutions in compact urban environments.
The design integrates a sturdy yet lightweight metal frame, wooden panels, and a precise rotational mechanism, allowing for smooth transitions between its three states. As a table, it provides a stable surface for work or dining. In its bookshelf configuration, it offers ample storage while maintaining a sleek, vertical profile. When converted into stairs, the structure becomes a functional access solution for elevated spaces, making it ideal for lofts or modular interiors.
By combining structural integrity with transformative design, this furniture piece redefines how we interact with our living spaces, embodying the principles of efficiency, modularity, and innovation in contemporary architecture.
