The Crates by Naihanli and co





Saw this at Designs of the year at The Design Museum. Apparently the inspiration for the series came to Naihan while unpacking shipping crates full of artwork for the Milan furniture fair. 
There is a whole range of pieces including: Desk, Dressing tables, wardrobe, sofa, chest of drawers, workstation, T.V. cabinet, bed, book case... the list goes on. It's basically an entire mobile lifestyle system.
I  think the concept is great. The idea of being able to just close everything up, wheel it on to a van, into your new warehouse/ loft space open it up and everything be where you left it is genius. (However, it becomes somewhat less seamless should you be moving to a top floor flat in a Georgian house conversion!)

And should the mood take you, you can literally pack the kitchen sink!
