Furniture to go
People are moving more than ever, so isn't it about time that our furniture was easy to pack and unpack. I propose a catalog of square home furnishings. | |
I got the idea from the Stooges episode in which they were cabinetmakers who inherited a haute couture salon: their first line for the Fall Season featured dresses with drawers..
packaging = furniture

When I'm moving, the biggest problem I have with furniture is not that it isn't square. |
|
| |
It's that it's *heavy* and it's *big* and there's *lots of it*. |
|

If you want to make the moving experience easier, perhaps we could have inflatable furniture (baked), or folding furniture (baked), or furniture with giant helium balloons above each piece (ridiculous). |
|

Maybe we should just start a tradition of selling our furniture to the next occupant, and buying furniture from the previous occupant of our next location. I recently moved into an apartment; the previous owners had a couch exactly like ours, but for some reason they painfully lugged theirs out and we painfully lugged ours in. |

This used to be a more
common before transportation of
lots of furniture over great
distances was really an option.
Estate sales typically included
a house and everything in the
house, with the exception of
heirlooms. |

Disposable furniture is
becoming popular (IKEA,
anyone?), but you still have to
get it in and out, which always
seems to be the most arduous
part of moving. |

I saw an idea on a product design site www.core77.com that had a plan for cardboard shipping box that converted into a computer desk. The idea was to recycle the package so that it would be useful after the product was unpacked. This is a perfect dorm room solution, and it sure beats moving particle board furniture that chips just by looking at it. Just remember to use coasters for those drinks. |
