Bumblebee Transformable Spaces

As property prices continue to skyrocket, the trend for micro apartments is growing. But living in a itty bitty teeny tiny space can be a challenge. Bumblebee is a sophisticated furniture system that makes small urban studio apartments much more flexible and appealing. With a modern design, smooth operation, and effortless control, the modular robotic furniture expands to reveal spacious storage when you want it, a bed, or office space, then contracts to give you back your space for living. Designed by former Apple and Tesla engineers, this space-enhancing system features a ceiling-mounted grid that can hold several tons of weight, allowing furnishings and storage to come up and down depending on your needs. watch the video below
