Dual functionality

just like dual sim phones i've always loved the dual or multiple functionality of tools, equipment and spaces because I live in a fast paced world with limited resources squeezing in multiple properties into a single object at half the cost of the multiple properties in individual objects is a win-win for everyone.




so i couldn't wait to try this out when my parents asked commissioned me to make us a coffee table for our cozy TV room, I knew space was limited but we needed a table to place the remote controls, books, magazines and our feet without obstructing the tv sensors or ourselves.

After some sketches I called my carpenter and debriefed him laying so much emphasis on the suction cups that would hold the glass top to the wood legs.




voila! we made our dual function coffee table with a glass top, I chose to use a glass top with its transparent property to give the illusion of a smaller table because all you see are the wood legs and the wood legs are actually bookshelves used now to store novels, left over snacks and Gabby's toys.




 i absolutely enjoyed designing this table and  i couldn't help seeing all the dual purposes other furniture at home could possess like some examples I found below




these dual functioning furniture are ideal for limited spaces like in a bachelor / spinsters pad, so if you've just moved into you very own place for the first time then I'm just the person to meet on ways to make your palace place functional and spacious.




Looking around me now I can see so many possibilities in home furniture it's exciting,  I've got so many ideas I'm itching to try out and help you make your interior spaces beautiful and functional, I'm sure you guys are starting to have ideas of yours as well now.....i know!

  2. Wow, the concept is interesting and where you dont have much space, it sure comes in handy. Wouldnot mind a table like that, though I think my nephew would use the books as colouring books. Nice blog too
