„Casulo - Mobile Living Furniture”
complete furniture for one room which can be packed up to the base scale of a euro-pallet
Flexibility and mobility have become key concepts of today’s working world and yet we continue to create our own barriers to our success and mobility.We take on obligations and responsibilities and obtain house goods far beyond what we really need. (...) The “Casulo” concept offers an inventive and achievable opportunity to face the demands of mobile living. (...)“Casulo” is a complete set of room furniture which can be set up in less than ten minutes and later disassembled and repacked like a standard Euro pallet of 80 cm by 120 cm. No tools are needed in the process.
