Working a lot with shape, appearance, and comfortable fit, the American sneaker design guru Matthew Pauk created the Slot sofa. With it he catches everything a sofa is about in one piece of furniture. This 3-seater hides an Ottoman, a coffee table and two extra pull-out seats. The Slot is ideal for everything; sleeping, binging a TV series, having movie nights with friends or hosting a connoisseur event with red wine.

The Italian designer Emanuele Magini made a 2-seat sofa wrapped in one single piece of cloth that can be unzipped. The ‘Sosia’ sofa converts into two armchairs, a bed, even into a small changing room. This is a key example of creativity and understanding of how dynamic furniture design can mutate and become a great piece of interior furnishing, adaptable to any everyday situation in a micro-apartment setting.

Imagine these (or other) ingenious multi-functional furniture designs equipped with electric actuator movement solutions. Owners would find it even easier to turn his or her home fittings from one function to another – at the touch of a button.
