Everything fits on a pallet: follow the snail’s example
Another option for those who can’t afford mortgage payments is to move into a studio built for the Three Little Pigs: those impossible apartments of laughable dimensions. Although public authorities have promoted this awful way of life, it’s designers with their ingenious proposals that have given a little dignity back to urbanites forced to turn into ants.
Two students from the Köln International School of Design have developed the revolutionary concept Casulo. All the furniture necessary for survival fits on a single Europallet: a desk, an armoire, a bed with a mattress, a variable-height stool and two more stools that double as storage units. Set it up or take it apart in just ten minutes. If you live in a dwarf-sized home and also move house a lot, Casulo is for you.
Who ever said overcrowding couldn’t be chic? A British company manufactures Vertebrae: a full bathroom built into a vertical column with movable arms that can be installed in any discrete spot of our compact apartments. Yes, it’s a squeeze, but at least it’s elegant…
But if your budget is so tight that you can’t so much as rent a space even with a host of distinguished guarantors, deposits and insurance policies, you always have the option of becoming a postmodern gypsy. You can opt to convert a van into your home, as suggested at Living is.be: park it in a park and forget about loans.
That suspicious foul odor that always seems to emanate from trailers will disappear when you see pictures of Mehrzeller’s homes on wheels’ interiors. The German company manufactures custom-made caravans whose design recalls Woody Allen’s film Sleeper. For nomads who love luxury.
