Folding Rooms on Wheels

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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.

For about $7,500 US each, you can choose between a bedroom, kitchen or office.

I’ll bet natural disaster survivors, such as though who suffered through Hurricane Katrina, are wondering wear these were when they needed them!

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.

I don’t know about your office, but we have already run out of space at ours. How long until corporations start rolling these in to replace our already cramped cubicles?

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