From necessity comes invention. Anyone who's ever lived in Japan knows that the small spaces require compact living, and at least one furniture designer is obliging with a smart piece that creates a compact dining area from a cube.

Sadly, it's only available in Japan for now, but would be a great complement to the amazing BEDUP and any other compact living solution. It's not quite a whole apartment in a box, or a whole apartment's worth of stuff in 43 square feet, but it's still a pretty slick, space-saving design. Hit the jump to see it "uncubed." ::Cube Style (in Japanese) via ::Apartment Therapy: Los Angeles

Thats one good idea, so simple yet so useful. Very very useful on small places, plus it makes a room more spacier and tidy.

I like it, but I think they should chop of the arms (on the left) so you don't bang your elbows. Sure, it would leave a hole when closed up, but functionality takes precedence over looks.

Or maybe it's not the issue it looks to be.

Either way, I like it.

Wonderful!

I could build it for the North American market... How much are willing to pay ;-)
