KLIPPA

Temporary accessories, designed to last

Concept project for IKEA
With more of us choosing to live in urban centers, the average household size is decreasing. We are forced to become increasingly savvy with how we use our space, yet despite some great solutions out there, each and every small apartment inevitably forces you to compromise on some peices of furniture. Lack of space for bedside furniture is a common difficulty in small bedrooms, especially with double bed placed in the room. KLIPPA replaces the functionality of a typical bedside table, offering storage space for books, phones and other objects while also supplying a lamp for pre-sleep reading. With the functions seperated, accessories can be arranged in any unused wall-space around the bedside - a versatile solution for even the most challenging of small bedroom spaces.

Finding desirable space-saving solutions when living in a small apartment can be tough. Often, these solutions are designed as ‘temporary’ measures with poor quality materials, poor manufacturing quality and generaly unappealing aeshetics. Holding little sentimantal value, these solutions are often discarded as the user moves from home to home. KLIPPA aims to address this issue, offering a forever-temporary space-savvy solution to bedside storage. KLIPPA accessories can be placed and removed with no damage to walls, saving renters the punishment of reduced return in their apartment deposits when moving out.
