ideas and alternatives that arise when the priority is to optimize small places of high traffic. Flexible, functional, adaptable and can be combined to new applications, the furniture that comes into account other variables. Local and international proposals. 
That is flexible, functional and suits various applications. Space optimization is a variable of a time now deprived of sleep for designers and architects. The urban lifestyles show new need is for use. The environments are becoming smaller, users add objects and priorities change.
This is understood, among others, the Spanish designer Raul Edo and the World Maite Torres, selected in the table Injuve Expo multifunction Le Tabouret and magnetic ceramic tile magnet that lets you organize your kitchen utensils to taste. From other latitudes, the German Thomas Schnur makes a playful idea Rubber table table, with legs plunger. Japan's Hiroyuki Morita Y does the same with the chair leg, which is folded origami.
"The place where we cook, we sit down to breakfast or share a conversation requires that our furniture fits every day, because the kitchen always becomes a place of step," says Raul Edo on Le Tabouret, table whose entries are part of work surface, thus facilitating the development of activities around you without taking up unnecessary space. "Is that intelligent design should create solutions to meet specific demands. Understand reality and from it, workable solutions, "said Edo.
Take advantage of spaces in a fun, effective alternative is the proposed World Maite Torres, who designed Tile Magnet, a new type of magnetic tile adds value, "interact, organize and define the spaces according to user needs, "he said from Barcelona. Keys, notes, cell phones, scissors and tools can be pasted on the walls, leaving the free allowances.
With the aesthetics of the plunger, Thomas Schnur created Rubber Table, a table of flexible rubber which adheres to different surfaces. "Business objects continuously with the design. Since its appearance, its materiality and its role evaluated the establishment of standalone products, "he says.
Meanwhile, the architects of the firm Agioletto detected a recurrent need in stepfamilies. "Guys who sleep three or four days a week in close quarters they share with their brothers. Adapt to the actual measurements and the specific demands is a challenge. The trend is to use the stairs to drawer space, combine usage patterns where the depths and heights meet the priorities of space, "according to the architect Emilio Ferro.
Gustavo Sarmiento, El Gusanito Kids, also committed to practical space saving and multi-function organizer with transparent dressers and easy to move. "The furniture is not eternal. Must be versatile, modular and simple to save, combine and adapt them to different rooms, uses and stages in life, "says the architect, who designed furniture from the premise that kids play with what they have on hand and sight.
This trend, space optimization, responds to a tacit agreement that is gaining more on the relationship between users and their objects: in small spaces there is no place for all. We have to reach an agreement.
