Every now and then, an invention changes interior design. Some of these changes are temporary, while some stand the test of time. The invention of modular furniture in the 1920s was something that took the industry by storm. When Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky invented the modular kitchen in Frankfurt, Germany, she didn’t know it would catch on quite wonderfully.
As spaces started getting more compact, modular furniture became the choice as it offered a multitude of benefits. It is versatile, customisable, easy to transport, quick to assemble, cost-effective, space-saving and aesthetically appealing. The modular furniture today is as interesting as it gets. If you’ve been thinking of a piece like that for spaces, this is the perfect place to start from.
A working den for your working Zen.
Coppice is everything you’d want – it is a standalone, acoustic and compact single-occupancy work booth that creates the right environment for distraction-free working and offers oodles of privacy. Available in multiple configurations, its five key, birch plywood smart panels can be arranged in multiple shapes and forms suited to your space. It comes with a natural lacquer finish which goes hand-in-hand with the Orangebox anthracite-pressed polyester felt panels, giving it a clean look.
Endless combinations, limitless possibilities.
If PAU, as a collection, was an animal, it would most definitely be a chameleon. Its versatility makes it ideal for any space, colour, design theme or use. It has different designs of sofas and seats that come with or without privacy screens and can be used in a range of compositions depending on the size of your space. One-seater, multi-seater, L-shaped sofa set – or anything that comes to your mind. The fully-upholstered sofas and seats with steel arms make a room your interior design playroom, trickling down ingenuity.
These curvilinear sofas find their muse in the nature-touched, moss-covered rock cliffs that are often photo-worthy, just like the cute sofas themselves. Each piece of the sofa is individually upholstered, which means you can join them together (different colours, too) or use them as single-seaters. They come with our without armrests and have uber-soft foam seats to sit, laze or sleep on! You can choose whether you want them upholstered in fabric or leather – ISKU spoils you for choice.
You can now buy an ‘icon.’
Maki makes a bold statement and is so thoughtfully designed that it can easily be called an ‘icon.’ It stands out yet blends in, with its unique shape attracting awes. This easy chair can be used to wait, nap, work, meet, laze, chill – or anything else. You can also combine this moulded cold foam chair with other similar pieces, making a composition of your choice. It has a metal frame and black matte legs, with impressive upholstery options.
Akin to colours for your canvas-like space.
A truly dynamic furniture line that allows your creative juices to gush, not just flow. Take your pick from round tables, sofas, two-sided booths, tables, seats etc., in multiple shapes and sizes that let you completely customise the look you want. You can also re-arrange them on-demand, along with adding functionality and colour burst with these lightweight ottoman construction pieces. The high-back style of the collection allows up to eight power modules to function from just one three-prong infeed. It is also highly durable, with a 400-pound weight rating.
For spaces within spaces.
These contemporary, multi-use dividers will let you create zones within your workspaces or homes to increase productivity and instil privacy. When you don’t want to build walls, these toppers crafted from hand-welded steel tubing will come to your rescue. You can customise them by choosing the number of shelves for the top, and lodges, sliding doors, open storage, etc., for the bottom. Bisley offers a palette of 33 steel colours and seven wood finishes – or you can choose a mix of both. Like Bisley says, “they are designed to be different.”
