Description

The housing crisis has worsened dramatically in recent years, affecting more and more people, especially in metropolitan areas. Low-income individuals are often forced to give up an ever-increasing share of their financial stability for housing or are forced to move into unsafe and unhealthy living conditions. At the same time, the demands on living spaces are increasing as they are required to perform more and more tasks, as demonstrated by the home office. “Tapi” is an innovative design concept that aims to use living space more efficiently and have a lasting impact on the mindset of people in cramped living conditions. Tapi can be assembled into two table positions by simply folding it and after active use, it can be mounted flat against the wall to save space. By using the unique recycled material “vitAcoustic”, the product gains additional qualities and offers an extraordinary and novel user experience.
