Casulo: An Entire Apartment's Furniture in One Small Box

[Are_grits_groceries]

It might not look like it, but inside this box, there's an armoire, a desk, a height-adjustable stool, two more stools, a six-shelf bookcase, and a bed with a mattress. Casulo, the brilliant, modular setup designed by Marcel Krings & Sebastian Mühlhäuser, hides furnishings enough for an entire room -- or, heck, an entire apartment -- in a small 31"x47" (that's 80 cm x 120 cm) box. Two people can lift, carry, and assemble (and then disassemble, when it's time to move) each piece of furniture within the Casulo in about 10 minutes -- it requires no tools for assembly -- and every part of the boxy exterior is used, negating any need for extraneous, wasteful packaging. Smart.

6. Where on earth was that when I was younger?

I figured it out later -- over a ten year period I lived in 30 different places. This would have been PERFECT.

OTOH, now I have so much crap it's ridiculous. Time to weed out and cut back....

8. Very clever design.

I could see this going over really well with students and other people who move frequently.
