Casulo: Modular Room in a Box

Designed by Marcel Krings and Sebastian Muhlhauser, Casulo is an entire room of furnishings in a single 31" by 47" box. Without using any tools, the contents of the box transform to create a wardrobe, desk, three stools (one is height-adjustable), a six-shelf bookcase, and a bed with a mattress...

The Casulo unit uses no excess packaging and can be moved and assembled by two people (in ten minutes!). The gentlemen won the Abraham & David Roentgen Award in November 2007. Via: swissmiss and TreeHugger.

My goodness, this is ugly stuff.

That yellow does nothing for me, but how clever!! I love it. Totally what a college student could want.

I think this is genius. Watch the video - it's even more remarkable to see it in action. You could imagine this being a real sanity-saver in a post-disaster situation when people are in temporary accommodation. And really, I don't think it looks bad either - imagine it in a decorated room, with the bed made and books on the shelves.

El Jinx -
Great point about it being perfect for a post-disaster temporary situation.

I think every parent should order one for their college bound student and call their obligations complete!

In all seriousness though, I wonder about the materials and durability. Is this carboard? plywood?

And yeah, somone shold send this link to FEMA.

The idea is excellent. It would be great if there were high (DWR) , medium (Crate and Barrel) , and low (Ikea) versions...

this thing is amazing~ does anyone know how to pronounce?
