by Resource Furniture. Design Content and From.

Furniture is an excellent example to interpret the interaction of form and content in a design. A piece of furniture is a completed form of its content (which is its functionality). Furniture plays a significant role in people’s lives, it helps people organize stuffs, provides them living environment in everywhere, from public to private. The list of furniture’s function is endless, but a good design would only use one piece to convey the unnumbered functions. In other words, a good design is a product of concept, idea and plan.

This video is about a series of conceptual furniture design by Resource Furniture. It shows how their furniture is designed with abilities to transform its forms and shapes into different usage in situations. The major point is to give a piece of furniture unlimited potential of functionality within a limited space. For instance, many of their furniture are designed as chair or couch in their regular form, then people can easily pull out the parts (which are normally as a wall shelf ) and fold them into a bed. This great idea helps many small house hoods rationally used the space. Meanwhile, these transformable furniture pieces also have numbers of function in one which recalled the idea of putting ideas into a form.

In short, this clip of conceptual furniture interprets both the process and results of putting design content: ideas, plans and concept, into objects (forms) which is the interaction of content and form.
