Abstract
In this project, RAM, we wanted to question today’s
consumption of furniture and create furniture with longevity
in mind. Explore the possibilities of designing furniture that
would grow with you through life to avoid having the need to
buy new in different stages of life.

The project resulted in a storage system that can adapt to
different living situations which can accrue through life. Once
the system becomes too small or too big it can easily be
upscaled or downscaled. This makes it possible for the user
to adapt the size of the system to the current living situation,
from a student flat to a family home or vice versa. The storage
interior consists of shelves, room dividers, cabinets, secretaire
and drawers... (More)
In this project, RAM, we wanted to question today’s
consumption of furniture and create furniture with longevity
in mind. Explore the possibilities of designing furniture that
would grow with you through life to avoid having the need to
buy new in different stages of life.

The project resulted in a storage system that can adapt to
different living situations which can accrue through life. Once
the system becomes too small or too big it can easily be
upscaled or downscaled. This makes it possible for the user
to adapt the size of the system to the current living situation,
from a student flat to a family home or vice versa. The storage
interior consists of shelves, room dividers, cabinets, secretaire
and drawers that enable the user to customize the system
after their current needs. A twisting hook is used to smoothly
place the interior into the profiles, which also functions as
the main construction to keep the storage system stable.
RAM’s modularity allows the user to freely design the system
according to personal taste and needs.

Sustainable design strategies have been applied in the
design process, creating a long-lasting design solution which
contributes to a circular economy. RAM provides a service
allowing the user to buy spare parts and offer repairs to
prolong the product’s lifetime. The long term goal is to create
a service enabling users to switch components with each
other. The aim is to save material resources and prevent users
from throwing away fully functional material. (Less)
