The project focuses in designing a new 4 in 1 furniture concept that is suitable for users who are living in a
small size terrace house. A person who lives in a small size terrace house often faces limited space area problem.
The outlook of this furniture design emphasizes on a compact, minimalist, mobile and multifunctional use. The
4 in 1 concept shall allow users to transform this furniture into four different functions which are chair, bedding,
study table and closet. Its multifunctional aspect shall enable users to maximise its usage and minimise the use
of home space area. This furniture design also constraints on the green design concepts by optimising the use of

This new invention is an attempt to identify a solution for modern living space. In a typical living room for
an instance, the space will be cluttered with sofas, racks, cabinets and coffee tables just to name a few. Hence, this
research is focusing on space study which is becoming very limited for today’s living area. A multifunction and
affordable design concept is applied in this innovation. It is ergonomically designed and optimised the aesthetical
value because it can be adjusted according to the preferred height, yet it can serve both as a coffee table and as
a decorative lighting. Moreover, this invention is also a cost effective product as consumers no longer need to
purchase a coffee table and a decorative lighting separately.
