Let’s talk 'MODULAR' - part 2

Let’s talk 'MODULAR' - part 2

In our last blog we achieved a basic understanding for the term 

“MODULAR”, how it is doing its rounds in the world of designing 

and gaining its name and fame.

To have a recap - 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.

 

In this particular blog, I would like to elaborate on the fronts of - ‘WHY’ and ‘WHAT’  of  a modular concept

 

WHY Modular furniture

 

• Allows you to have handsome storage: Consumerism is at its peak since everything is available at cheaper prices and going by the human nature, we like to own more and more but where do we have space to keep all this 'STUFF’. Every household, single person or a big family has one wardrobe or storage arrangement which is full of things, things for which they don’t know utility for. Modular furniture like wardrobes, sofa sets, etc allows smart storage in this era and after all who likes clutter. Small and large drawer elements included in designing your bed, sofa, etc gives room to a lot of storage space. A tidy space is absolutely essential for a pleasant living ambience.

 

• Convenience and Flexibility: Methods for modular furnishings is very different from the old school methods where if one part of the wardrobe or furniture goes bad, you will suffer a big hole in your pocket to get it fixed instead big/small modules are easy to fix, remove, modify, replace, etc. That's the beauty of convenience and flexibility in modular concept. 

 

• Organised and Spacious: Everything is measured and systematic when it comes to modular units. Stools can go under the table, small working tables can go inside the centre table, a number of designs have emerged under the modular concept which makes your home interior look detailed, organised and neat. You will be able to use space judiciously, smartly and give your rooms a bigger and better look.

 

 

WHAT does Modular future holds 

 

The future of this concept is vivid. It is not only limited to assembly of modules but now ‘Design meets Functionality’. 

Multi-purpose furniture/ Multi-functional furniture, any name you can call it, is the future which will have no limits. The rising space crunch, growing population, unending consumerism, more, more and more. To accommodate this ‘more’ we will have to become more and more creative everyday with the spaces.  Multi-purpose furniture can be an excellent solution to overcome this challenge, as it can be constantly adapted to your needs and therefore put to appropriate use. You can pull out a bed in the exact same place where your table and chairs were previously located, pieces of furniture with their original purpose are hidden behind large wall paintings, folding sauna, lego apartments, etc. In conclusion, multifunctional modular furniture is proving to be an extremely practical and versatile companion in everyday life, while maintaining the style and ease of operation 

 

These innovative designs with aesthetics and functionality combined is something of expectation from every homeowner now and we designers are brainstorming every moment to fulfil this.
