Description

‘Sequel’, signifies the ability of this product to have a ‘second life’ as it is rentable and reusable. This modular furniture designed for furniture renting companies leased to their customers. By using the same basic components, the company or the tenant themselves can easily assemble common household furniture. The variants are easy to manage as they can be taken apart to clean, deconstruct when not needed, and the parts are easily replaceable. An intuitive press and lock joint component works by pressing the two circles on the side and inserting it into another component. There is also a hook that conjoins two rails in a perpendicular manner. Releasing the two circles will lock the two components in place. The younger generation would want to seek a better quality of life by enjoying appreciating good designs and following current trends. Therefore, multiple materials can be used to bring out different design aspects of furniture which allows customers to create their own style.
