About Nomadless Bostadsinredning

Nomadless är en bostadsinredning för en 30 kvadratmeter stor allmännyttig lägenhet i Hongkong. Den kompakta interiören stödjer många aktiviteter inom ett och samma öppna utrymme. Skräddarsydda möbler är omvandlingsbara, så att samma yta kan fungera som en biosalong, ett tehus, ett litet bibliotek eller en arbetsstudio. En takhög hylla med en plattform erbjuder en viloplats för filmer och böcker, och ett höj- och sänkbart bord används för te. Tre dolda bord kan dras ut för att erbjuda sittplatser åt femton gäster. Teakträ, betong och glas bjuder in naturligt ljus och stillhet.

Production Technology: From a highly packed spaces, the intension of undefine zone bring flexibility of
Zen microcosm within living space, functional area adjoining meditation room. While closing all the doors, the atmosphere brought the sense of stillness.

An abundant storage space hidden in a minimal way echo with the Zen empty minimalist concept, presented in recessed teak wood cabinet along the kitchen concrete wall. The standard kitchen setting is demolished to create a more
welcoming co-cooking experience.
Design Challenge: We do furniture on site to fit every corner of the room, since the design of the partition and all the glasses for dividing spaces, the whole contraction process or building the room has to be reverse. That bringing the difficulties to the structure building.
Research: Hong Kong Public Estate is a highly packed space. To the users that loves to do various activity at home alone or with huge group of friends, a more flexible and interchangeable design is needed. Transformable furniture of a 50sq.ft size then transformed to be used anywhere in the space is the method that we explored.
Inspiration: In a hustle and bustle Hong Kong city, the house served well as a breathing paradise to enjoy own lifestyle in one stable place. With its simplicity, the functionality, and the connection with the nature, the house tended to bring back the stillness of ones, where there is no more nomad life.
Project Duration: This project started in April 2018 in Hong Kong and finished in October 2018.
Operation Flow: The tailor made furniture is transformable for self enjoyment or spending time with huge group of friends. The full height shelf with platform served a huge resting place for movies and books, installed with a remote lifting table for tea time purposed. It also served 15 people dinning while all the three hidden tables are slid open from one minimal plate form space. With natural material and semi- transparent glass use for inviting natural sunlight and breeze to the interior.
