If you’re strapped for space in your flat, then the Living Cube might just be the thing for you. It’s still a one-of-a-kind build for now, but you should be able to make your own or have one made if you’ve got the carpentry skills.
Designed by Till Könneker, the Living Cube is an entertainment center, living room, open wardrobe, walk-in closet, and library in one. There’s a loft bed at the top which looks comfortable enough. If you’re not into books, then you can just fill the shelves up with your random stuff. The wardrobe has a lot of space for shirts and coats and there’s two rows of shelves at the bottom for your shoes.
