The constant in living is change – flexible living solutions from AMBIVALENZ

Many people want to live in the city, be at the cutting edge and enjoy the cultural diversity. Urbanisation is a megatrend that is making cities more colourful, but also denser, because rents are rising rapidly and living space is becoming scarcer. This is why new flexible housing solutions need to be created to counter this development with creative ideas. The Berlin label AMBIVALENZ has set itself precisely this task. ‘The space available is limited. That’s why your furnishings need to save space! Folding furniture is perfect for this. It recedes into the room when not in use and extends the living space with ingenious functions,’ says founder Malte Grieb. The principle is as innovative as it is ingenious: The Fläpps furniture from AMBIVALENZ is only there when it is needed. Then they disappear back onto the wall, leaving space for your yoga mat or a guest bed. The ingenious furniture system consists of more than 20 modules and offers numerous combination options. Tables, secretaries and chairs as well as wardrobes and clothes rails in the Fläpps system can be flexibly folded as required. Quickly changeable furnishings and flexible living solutions are particularly in demand in a dynamic home. Your living room becomes an office during the day, the kitchen a communal room and the balcony a small garden. Especially in the age of the home office, convertible tables and chairs are proving to be valuable because they turn our home into an office in the blink of an eye and, just like us, go home after work. The newfound freedom creates a relaxed atmosphere in the room and invites us to socialise with friends and family. ‘It’s not the furnishings that should define us, but we who define them,’ says Malte Grieb. Flexible living solutions now also available as a sofa In addition to the innovative Fläpps system, AMBIVALENZ has created the Curt upholstery system, which fulfils a wide range of living requirements. The innovation: Curt’s cuboid module consists of a single module shape. This offers you limitless expansion options and can be transformed into anything from a single armchair to a daybed to a large reclining and seating landscape. The intelligent connection system allows you to vary the modules as required. The adjustable webbing can be quickly and easily attached and detached. The Curt system also impresses with its design. Minimalist yet striking and contemporary, the upholstery fits perfectly into any interior. Perfect for movie nights, cosy get-togethers with the family or switching off with your favourite book – the high-quality slat base ensures maximum comfort. Various upholstery covers and 17 colours invite you to ‘mix & match’. With the multitude of possible combinations, your own home can be remodelled and changed every day. Constantly changing – flexible living solutions ‘Flexibility is the answer to the desire for self-realisation in living,’ says the Managing Director of AMBIVALENZ, because the constant in living is constant change – people are on the move and need flexible living solutions. The variable furniture from AMBIVALENZ reflects precisely this and creates individual living spaces for new requirements.
