What if furniture were only there when you need it? Not as science fiction, but as a furnishing principle: flexible furniture adapts to your life \u2013 not the other way round. That is the whole idea behind AMBIVALENZ. The rest is execution.<\/p>\n\n

Folding furniture: gone when you don’t need it<\/h2>\n

Folding furniture is the most radical form of flexible furnishing: it exists on demand. The chair hangs on the wall like a picture until guests arrive. The table is a flat strip until it’s time to eat. The desk disappears when the workday ends. You can tell good folding furniture by one thing: folded shut, you don’t hide it \u2013 you show it. And that is exactly where design parts ways with camping gear. The Fl\u00e4pps family is conceived this way from the ground up: two centimetres flat, no clamping mechanics, with surfaces that belong on a wall.<\/p>\n\n

Flexible furniture systems: Fl\u00e4pps on the wall, Curt on the floor<\/h2>\n

Two systems, one principle: Fl\u00e4pps<\/strong><\/a> organises the wall \u2013 folding chairs, tables, desks, shelves, coat racks. Curt<\/strong><\/a> organises the floor \u2013 a sofa system made from a single module shape that takes on any form and gives it up again. Flexible furniture systems means: both grow, shrink and change with you \u2013 good on their own, together a complete living concept for people who would rather not commit.<\/p>\n\n

Flexible furniture for small spaces<\/h2>\n

Small rooms are furnishing’s honesty test: every square metre has to justify itself. Flexible furniture for small spaces resolves the dilemma without making your home look like sacrifice \u2013 the bedroom becomes an office by day (wall desk<\/a>), the kitchen gets a table without a footprint (wall table<\/a>), and the hallway a coat rack that only shows its hooks when needed (wall coat rack<\/a>). Living small doesn’t mean living with less. Just smarter.<\/p>\n\n

From folding chair to wall desk<\/h2>\n

A quick tour of the range of possibilities: folding chairs<\/a> that wait on the wall as pictures. wall-mounted folding tables<\/a> for kitchen and everyday life. folding wall shelves<\/a> that fold flat in theory and carry everything in practice. Wall desks<\/a> for a home office that knows when to call it a day. And for the floor: the flexible sofa<\/a> that is allowed to be a different one every week.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
