We’re all familiar with the foldaway bed, but what about foldaway rooms?
The ergonomically-inclined Japanese have done it again, as if the Bento Box wasn’t enough! This time, designer Toshihiko Suzuki has created Kenchikukagu, aka, rooms that fold up and can be wheeled away.

The funny part is, if you can afford the portable rooms, you probably could afford to just buy a bigger place! Even in a sardine-packed city like Tokyo.

The future not only looks bright, but crowded as well. Watch a video here.
