90° Furniture: A Flatpack Apartment by Lowrien Kaptein
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto 
on 12. 3.08
I am a sucker for furniture that can slide under your door; Imagine how much less shipping, less material is needed when it flatpacks so efficiently, Dutch designer Louwrien Kaptein had designed an entire apartment, complete with working area, sitting, sleeping, cooking and storage.
"Each unit is a room divider and a functional piece of furniture. The interior is easy to move [and is] usable in any space."
He has built the cupboard unit, but you can see the whole apartment in a movie here.
