Smart Living Ideas – BoConcept
As we find ourselves increasingly working from home, smart living ideas that cross-pollinate from living, socialising and working have never been more paramount. BoConcept has been honing these multi-functional furniture solutions in their entirety to aid in effortlessly working from home.
For many, the boundaries between home and work will remain forever be blurred, and it is through this transition period that we can find value in pieces that serve us in more than one capacity. BoConcept has been developing and researching these smart living ideas since it’s emergence in 1952, designing furniture that offers a varied array of functionality and allows for flexibility of use within the home. Extending from its Scandinavian roots, the minimal and refined simplicity of the pieces speaks to a curated and considered life, reflecting the ethos of Danish design.
Under the umbrella of ‘small elements, big impact’, BoConcept has created a series of pieces that speak to smaller densified living scenarios. The engineering driving the design of these pieces comes from a place of durability, functionality and a sense of timelessness. The adaptability of each piece to be customised or amended to suit and reflect the owner is also key to the muted, neutral aesthetic, with an understanding that our homes reveal our individuality. With this in mind, the brand has a selection of over 120 fabric and leather finishes, offering customisation and reconfiguration of elements as needed.
The core pillars of the BoConcept range are grounded on principles that we should all consider in selecting such key pieces that comprise our smart living spaces: size, materiality, and ergonomics. In considering size and the increasingly densified spaces we find ourselves living in, the efficiency of every element that provides a function, without superfluous excessive detail, is an important consideration. Of similar significance is the textural offering of each piece, which needs to contribute more than the traditional office environment to exist comfortably as both a piece of furniture within the home and one that works functionally. And lastly, with the increased time in our new work home spaces, the issue of ergonomics and engaging with pieces that offer us furniture that performs and supports our working life is paramount.
BoConcept has been working to create pieces that can easily fit within the realms of both home and office and blur the lines between the two for some time. Leveraging the brand’s founding Danish design lineage and grounded on principles of functionality, style and comfort, these smart living ideas are now of more relevance than ever.
