La Capsule by House Couturier
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 12.22.06
If all of our stuff was designed so that it served multiple purposes or folded up into less space, we could live in smaller spaces and use fewer resources. And, as our Greening Your Work pointed out, telecommuting saves a lot of carbon. Thats why we love things like La Capsule. If you work at home and do not have a separate room you are often forced to look at your work stuff when your work day is over. With La Capsule, when closed one sees only an atractive painted cylinder in the corner of your room; when open it is a useful office with storage, a computer table and shelving. Designed by ::House Couturier in London, although we could not find this on their site, and judging by their other stuff, green materials are not a priority. via ::Cube Me
