Multifunctional and flexible furniture Is it functional purpose or intellectual fantasy?


Abstract in English

Furniture was designed for a specific functional use, and lasted like that for a long period time, but with a lot of innovations and diversity of configurations and materials, without any significant change to its basic functions. Later on, with the change of lifestyle, new types of furniture began to appear with multi- functional uses with its ability to shift from one format to another to produce a new element with new function.. This phenomenon crystallized clearly at the beginning of the industrial revolution, but in that time it has provided solutions to the emergent problems; this type of furniture has lured many people with its quick disappearing and appearing within the interior space, but it remained at a lasting development it bordered the style format and use. This raises the question about the purpose of producing these products, which started to take the form of a type of fantasia and this became more important towards the function they serve.
