Smart furniture

OPLA’ is a whole project made up of versatile and multifunctional furniture. The series has been developed after my personal reflection on the comtemporary living,  aiming to cope with the lack of space which characterizes modern cities and our attitude to move from one place to another. The metal chairs have been designed to be folded and easily placed in a cubic and movable coffee table; the cubic shelves can yet be stacked one on top of the other or, if used as an unique piece of furniture, they are coffee tables which can be turned into stools by pulling out the seatback from the metal structure.

The project is designed and realized with Rocci Aldo s.a.s.

She graduated from Politecnico of Turin in 2009 with professor Pierre-Alain Croset, complementing her curricula at Beijing Tsinghua University. She started her career working for leading Italian architecture practices such as UdA and +Studio, on European and Middle Eastern high-end residential projects.
