DESIGN DAILY: Seriously Double-Duty Furniture

In Category: Furniture

Who doesn’t love double-use furniture? No matter the price, two-for-one always feels like a deal. I am generally dazzled by pieces with even one extra storage compartment, so when I saw these two transformers—I was beside myself.

(Above) Forget the sofa sleeper, the Doc couch by Bon Bon Trading double flips into a bunk bed! Near-magical and actually good-looking, this blows all double-duty furniture out of the water.

I know having a gym at home would make me exercise more but as a decor-snob--I’ll take the extra pounds over an elliptical eyesore in my living room. However, this Otto-Bench by Gabriel Prero for Life Fitness is ruining my argument. A multi-adjustable bench, bench press, and free weights are all hiding in a handsome bench.

Wow!

That certainly is flexible furniture...love it.

free weights

I love the compartment for the free weights, right now mine are hidding in a corner, but they are a bit unsightly. I would get the bench just for that. Do we know what material the bench is made of?

more than meets the eye.....

The orange one seems a little young for me, not sure if any of my adult friends would be down sleeping on a bunk bed when they stay over, however for a younger persons room, that would be a flying success i am sure of it. now the work bench, assuming there is some kind of cover i can put on it, so i dont sweat right through my sofa, that is something i could get behind as well.
