Let’s talk MODULAR - KITCHEN/ WARDROBE/ FURNISHINGS/ OFFICE
DID YOU KNOW ?
The first modular housing schemes can be traced back to Buckminster Fuller,
whose flexible housing experiment of the 1920s and 30s, the Dymaxion House,
came with things like notably advanced prefabricated bathroom modules.
These modules were shipped to the US military for use during World War II.
Even though the concept of Modular is a century old now, In India this can be qualified as a fresh concept (weird!) and is picking it’s pace (slowed down to COVID19, ofcourse!) but Modular concept is bound to gain speed
As well as improvise
Allow me to talk about this concept in a simple language
MODULAR comes from the word ‘MODULE’ meaning
- a set of standardized parts or independent units that can be used to make a more complex structure.
Now in the infrastructure industry this complex structure could be a building, a TV unit, a kitchen, a bathroom, a wardrobe, a showcase, anything.
And hence a Modular Design or modularity in design is a principle that subdivides a system into smaller parts called ‘modules’, which can be independently
Created
Modified
Replaced
Exchanged
with other modules or between different systems if required.

I hope these images help you visualise this concept.
Modular designs makes the room look bigger and
organised is less cumbersome in handling,
easy to replace, modify, rearrange.
Apart from the above mentioned advantages, the concept of Modular furniture is enhancing. It has become versatile offering multi-functionality and universality. We will talk about this in our next article.
