Abstract
One of the primary challenges in interior design is the efficient organization of small spaces. While the spatial constraints are typically predetermined, the selection of furniture must be approached with careful consideration by the client to maximize both functionality and aesthetics. To address this issue, we suggest multi-functional furniture solutions, which raise both applied and theoretical mathematical questions regarding the folding and unfolding of polygonal objects within a given spatial configuration. As a case study, we suggest multi- functional furniture/objects, each serving a distinct purpose, that can be folded into a plane.
